Instead of tackling terrorists, Tinubu imposing death sentences on protesters – Atiku

 

Former vice-president Abubakar Atiku has said the recent killing of some Islamic worshippers in Mafa Village, in Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe state, showed the failure of Nigeria’s security networks.

“The atrocity in Yobe is a stark testament to the failure of the current security framework, demanding immediate and comprehensive reform,” Atiku said.

Atiku said that failed to tackle the insecurity challenge and, instead “preoccupied itself with stifling dissent and imposing death sentences on protesters”.

The “atrocity in Yobe is a stark testament to the failure of the current security framework, demanding immediate and comprehensive reform”.

“Despite the tragic bloodshed in Yobe, which has claimed scores of lives, and the rampant destruction across numerous villages in Katsina, Sokoto, and other towns within the North-West and North-Central regions, the government seems to remain detached, engrossed in inconsequential affairs,” Atiku wrote on X.

“The turmoil extends to the South as well, where the disquiet wrought by Boko Haram and the unsettling political discord threatens the nation’s peace.

“My heart goes out to the victims of these horrific attacks, and I fervently implore the Tinubu administration to demonstrate a heightened commitment to safeguarding life and property across the nation,” he said.

Cornet News gathered that the Boko Haram insurgents who attacked the village during a Muslim prayer killed 34 worshippers.
