The pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has reacted to
the Saturday invasion of Kaduna Airport by terrorists and urged the Federal Government to stop handling the insecurity challenge with kid gloves.
Afenifere in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare
Ajayi, described the invasion of Kaduna airport as an issue of serious
concern and warned that some people seem to be bent on re-enacting the
Afghanistan situation in Nigeria.
The group also called for the set-up of state police in handling rising
insecurity.
The group listed some security infractions that took place between
Friday and Saturday in parts of the country and regretted that it was as
though the country is at war in those areas where the unfortunate
incidents occurred.
Afenifere said communities were sacked in Kaduna, Niger, and Enugu
States, leading to the loss of lives and burning down of property.
Afenifere said with terrorists having the audacity to attack a national
airport despite all the available security apparatus, means that hardly is
anywhere safe any longer in the country.
The group called on President Buhari to use the remaining 14 months
left in his tenure to reverse the ugly fate that has be-devilled the country
in all spheres of life.
