President Tinubu has acknowledged that vast areas of the country are not policed or are under the authority of non-state actors.
Kaduna and Borno states are yoked together in last Thursday's harvest of bestialities. Boko Haram terrorists abducted hundreds of people from an Internally Displaced People camp last week. Initially, 200 people were reportedly involved. But Amnesty International's aggregate is over 400. The two ugly episodes serve as cruel reminders of the. About 100 of them are still unaccounted for. The abductions are a brutal indictment of the country's security system.
Echoes of these savageries were loud in the chambers of the House of Representatives penultimate week, when one of its members, Aliyu Abubakar from Katsina State, moved a motion for President Bola Tinubu to take action in neutralising the terror-cells and halt this gradual but steady descent into the abyss of barbarism in Nigeria. Similarly, the Senate resolved last Wednesday that the National Assembly leadership will meet the President over the escalating insecurity across the country.
Forests like the Kwiambana Games Reserve, Madada and others that straddle many states in the region are behemoths in this crisis, in the absence of enough forest rangers, or their lack, to checkmate the activities of terrorists who have made these nebulous territories their hideouts. Underworld kingpins like Ali Kachallah and Godo Gida, with a large army of non-state actors, operating from these fortresses need to be taken out.
