NEF Urges Tinubu to Declare State of Emergency in Northern Nigeria
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Northern Nigeria due to escalating insecurity. The NEF emphasized the government's duty to protect lives amidst increasing violent attacks, abductions, and killings in the region.
The forum expressed concerns over security agencies being overstretched and potentially complicit in leaving citizens vulnerable. Recent incidents, including attacks in Zamfara and Kaduna, were highlighted to illustrate the persistent organized criminal violence in the area.
The NEF's plea for urgent action aims to prevent further destabilization and restore peace in the region.
