49:22Now PlayingMore than 7 thousand lives were lost in 2020 to Boko Haram attacks, communal clashes, farmer-herder crisis, and other pockets of violence across the nation, that is according to the Nigeria Security Tracker. Insecurity has been a recurrent decimal in our national history.
Recall that on Friday, December 11, 2020, there was an abduction of 344 schoolboys at the Government Science Secondary School Kankara, Katsina State by bandits. While the students were all rescued alive after six days in captivity, it is imperative for government to prevent a recurrence.
The 2020 Global Terrorism Index put Nigeria as the third most impacted by terrorism country after Afghanistan and Iraq. Eminent Nigerians such as the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Sa’ad Abubakar, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto State, Matthew Hassan Kukah, socio-cultural rights groups like Afenifere and Ohaneze Ndigbo as well as the Middle Belt Forum have raised concerns about the worsening state of insecurity in Nigeria. Insurgency and general insecurity have continued to soar.
In fact, the South-West Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps was inaugurated in the six states of South-West this year in order to help the Federal Government policing system to beef up security. Early this month, the House of Representatives was so concerned that it invited the President to have a tete-a-tete with the lawmakers. Unfortunately, the President failed to show up. Several resolutions for change of the security chiefs by the Senate have also been ignored even as there is reported deployment of military in 33 states for improved security. Unfortunately, this nagging problem of insecurity have impacted negatively on food security of the country as farmers are being randomly kidnapped and murdered by bandits and insurgents with the slaughtering of over 43 rice farmers in Zabarmari, in Jere Local Government of Borno State last month.
