ACF urges Buhari to end kidnapping, killing in Nigeria

- ACF has condemned high rate of kidnapping and killings in Nigeria

- The group's spokesperson, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu, said the federal government should reexamine its security apparatus

- Biu also noted that the police force should deploy more personnel to the affected states and highways to not only repel attacks but go after the perpetrators and bring them to book

Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has condemned the rate of kidnappings and killings of innocent people on the highways and frequent attacks on villages by some armed bandits.

Daily Trust reports that the group said the dastard act has led to the death of hundreds of innocent people, especially in the northern part of the country.

Legit.ng gathered that the group's publicity secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu, said in a statement issued on Thursday, April 4, that the federal government should reexamine its security apparatus and take adequate measures that would increase the number of police personnel.

ACF called on the security agencies to employ new strategies and intelligence gathering needed to effectively smoke-out the kidnappers and bandits from their enclaves and hideouts.

It said the police force should deploy more personnel to the affected states and highways to not only repel attacks but go after the perpetrators and bring them to book.

ACF said that the frequent kidnappings and attacks on the people, especially along Kaduna/Abuja expressway and many villages in Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina and Kaduna states as well as many parts of the country is cruel, barbaric and inhuman.

“The establishment of Military Joint Task Force and other security operational command bases in Zamfara, Sokoto and other flash point states to combat the bandits activities in the region need to redouble their efforts in order to put an end to this daily loss of innocent lives and destruction of property.”

“This is a serious challenge to the government, our military and other security agencies as the spate of attacks is getting vicious and unacceptable and in deed Nigerians are worried and disturbed with reports of spate of kidnappings'', the group said.

ACF, however, extended its condolences to the families of the innocent souls killed in the dastardly acts of the kidnappers and bandits, and the people and governments of the affected states.

The group also urged the communities to cooperate with the security agencies by way of intelligence gathering and sharing.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that two chieftains of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kaduna state on Thursday, April 4, lauded the bravery demonstrated by Governor Nasiru El-Rufai in foiling kidnapping on Abuja-Kaduna expressway.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
