The Rising Wave of Insecurity in Nigeria | Vol 2.0

In one of my many articles published across media channels some months ago, I cited the rising wave of insecurity across the length and breadth of Nigeria, and the need for the Government to be proactive to nipped it in the bud before the escalation across the 6 Geo-Political zones.


As a patriotic citizen of Nigeria and visionary leader, I suggested measures the Federal Government of Nigeria can adopt to avert the imminent danger of widespread insecurity induced by hunger, frustration and hardship due to the current economic situation in the country.


For the past two weeks, News agencies and outlet working in the Northeastern part of Nigeria were reporting acts of terrorism, herders attacking farming communities, bandits threatening communities in the Northeast and Northwest, Unknown Gunmen and IPOB mandating the people of the Southeast to Sit at home despite the presence of Nigerian security forces across the region.


Gradually, the insecurity epidemic is spreading into the Southwest Nigeria known for been peaceful and the capital of economic activities in Nigeria.


Below are recent reports of the wave of security breaches and challenges;
