The Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, has lamented the repeated security situation ravaging Nigeria resulting to killings and abductions of citizens.
In a statement by the National Chairman of the party, Falalu Bello, on Tuesday, Nigeria is steadily losing control of its internal security architecture.
Bello stated that the lives of Nigerians being wasted daily were no less important than those of the leaders, their families, and cronies—many of whom are now relocating abroad for safety.
The party challenged the Federal Government to stop denying the crisis, accept responsibility, and act decisively, adding that time for excuses was over, stressing that Nigeria cannot continue bleeding while its leaders trade blame and perform public relations stunts.
It called for the immediately arrest and prosecution of anyone, regardless of their status, found to have aided, abetted, supported, or provided cover for terror attacks.
“We are profoundly alarmed and gravely concerned by the rapidly worsening security situation in Nigeria.
“In just a few days, the country has descended further into chaos, marked by brazen mass abductions, targeted killings, and coordinated terror attacks across several states, including Kebbi, Zamfara, Kwara, Kano, Bauchi, Yobe, Sokoto, Borno, and Niger. What is unfolding is nothing short of a systematic assault on the sovereignty of our nation and the dignity of its people.
“Nigeria has now recorded one of its most horrifying waves of abductions in recent history. Over 315 students and teachers have been forcefully abducted from St. Mary’s School in Papiri, Niger State—yet another brutal attack on our children, our future, and our collective hope.
“This tragedy has been followed by the kidnapping of 25 schoolgirls in Kebbi, the killing of a police officer and a vigilante in Patigi, Kwara, as well as five additional police officers in Bauchi.
“Furthermore, eight members of the Civilian Joint Task Force were killed, with three others abducted by terrorists in Gwoza, Borno State. In Yobe State, one policeman was killed in an attack by terrorists in Geidam. Additionally, four rice farmers were murdered in an attack by terrorists in Kwara State’s Edu Local Government Area,” the party said.
