Northern killings: The viciousness of it all

The APC leadership has also urged the security agencies to probe Atiku for this insurgency that has befallen the North western states. It’s all part of a ploy to get him to back off their back.

It’s another possibility too!

If the traditional rulers are involved then they not fit to wear that crown on their heads. Slaughtering their own just for dominance, power and wealth? It’s just insane.

With the emir of Zamfara attacked in his own home by bandits really shows the seriousness of this issue at hand.

I see no reason why the NAF would ignore calls for help after this happened.

Ooh…! There is plenty of reason for them ignoring calls for aid. Well the military at this point are not in smiling terms with traditional northern rulers.

It is truly disturbing to know that on a daily basis communities, L.Gs pay ransoms that run into hundreds of thousands, not to talk of millions of Naira that would be lost to callous men. What is the way forward to route this people out cause I am lost for words and weak with grief?

My dear brother, it is sure something to give one cause for grief. Thinking in retrospect, does this not strike you as too much coincidence that almost or majority of the northern states are going through this unprecedented banditry? I leave the rest to be surmised.

The question of who is behind the emerging invasion in the Northwest is something that has been given variant of answers. The truth is that every politician is looking for an opportunity to bring down their rivals; politicizing insurgency is one of their strategies. We are tired of hearing who is behind or above insurgency, arrest them and perhaps end the ills, that’s what Nigerians need right now.
