Atiku Lambasts Tinubu Government Over Failed Security Architecture, Ongoing Mass Killings Of Nigerians
Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said that Nigerians have now become used to news of mass killings due to the failure of President Bola Tinubu’s security architecture, which he described as an endemic nationwide phenomenon.
Atiku lamented that the country’s security situation has worsened to the point where many killings do not even make headlines anymore.
He accused the Tinubu-led government of allowing bloodshed to become routine, leaving Nigerians in a state of fear and hopelessness.
“The failure of Bola Tinubu’s security architecture has now become an endemic nationwide phenomenon with repeated killings, more of which do not even make the headlines,” he said.
He expressed sympathy for the victims of recent attacks, particularly in Plateau State, where numerous lives have been lost.
“Nigerians are now being forced to get used to such news of wanton killings, and I again offer my condolences to the bereaved communities of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State and the affected families.”
Atiku in a statement on Friday criticised the federal government’s inaction, warning that without urgent intervention, the country would continue its descent into lawlessness.
“I wish to restate my counsel to the Tinubu-led FG to reconfigure its security architecture to meet the needs of protecting the lives and properties of our people,” he added.
SaharaReporters had earlier reported on Friday how bandits killed at least 10 people in a series of violent attacks carried out on Wednesday on five communities in the Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The latest attacks came just six days after a similar attack occurred in Ruwi community during a wake-keeping ceremony, where 10 people were also killed and three others sustained injuries.
A statement released by the Bokkos Cultural Development Council (BCDC) and signed by its chairman, Farmasum Fuddang, condemned the persistent attacks.
Fuddang in the statement stated that the peaceful and hospitable people of the area are facing threats from terrorists attempting to seize their land and impose a caliphate.
“In just one week, we have lost over twenty community members due to these marauding terrorists, who are engaged in an ongoing ethnic and religious cleansing of five villages,” Fuddang stated.
