Nigerian Govt Responsible For Banditry, Kidnapping, Others – Arewa Youths by kennyify88: 11:33am On Mar 14, 2021 |
The Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, AYCF,
has said Nigerians should hold the
government responsible for banditry and
general insecurity in the country.
AYCF National President, Yerima Shettima
said it is the sole responsibility of the
government to provide security for
Nigerians, but it has failed to do so.
Speaking with DAILY POST, Shettima urged
the government to ensure security agencies
are adequately equipped with manpower.
According to the AYCF National President:
“The government should be held
responsible. It’s the sole responsibility of the
government to provide security which is key
to the citizens.
“Despite the fact that some of us are aware
that the security agencies have been
overstretched at one point or the other, we
are saying they should consider additional
manpower and provide the necessary
equipment to encourage these agencies.
“We must consider equipping the Nigerian
Armed Forces. Intelligence gathering is key,
but they need to build trust between them
and the communities, so they can get more
information about these criminal minded
people. These criminal minded people are in
the community and some know them very
well.”
In the North, the issue of banditry and
kidnapping has been on the rise lately.
Some students in Kaduna, Katsina, Kebbi,
Niger, and Zamfara States were abducted by
bandits.
While students abducted in some states
have been released, those from Kaduna
State are still with the abductors. |

Very true. The federal govt controls ALL the security agencies in Nigeria. Constitutionally, a state governor doesn't even have power over a traffic police officer/yellow fever in Nigeria. A govt that has a policy of releasing captured terrorists is also culpable for a security breakdown. |
