Kwara Killing: Evidence Of Total Collapse Of Security Under Tinubu’s Administration – ADC
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said that the killing of about 170 people in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State, highlighted the total collapse of security under the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government.
The party, which said that measures put in place to curb insecurity by government are not working, added that its approach is redistribution of terror.
Condemning the killing of about 170 persons in Kwara state, ADC, in a statement on Friday in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, questioned what has become of the President’s declaration of a state of emergency on security and the promised recruitment of thousands of police officers, noting that the continued mass killings suggest that these measures were either ineffective or mere declarations.
The party also wondered whether the heightened security activities witnessed last year, following comments by the President of the United States, were simply posturing to earn international approval rather than genuine efforts to end insecurity.
According to the ADC, the scale and frequency of killings across the country since then show that whatever measures the government claims to have taken are not working, indicating that its approach is merely redistributing terror rather than eliminating it.
ADC said: “This horrific massacre is one of the worst atrocities recorded in recent times and stands as a painful reminder of the complete collapse of security across the country. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the people of Kwara State, who have once again been abandoned to mourn their dead in a nation that appears incapable of protecting its citizens.
“As many analysts have noted, what makes this tragedy even more troubling are growing concerns that the perpetrators may be part of terrorist elements recently dispersed by United States Christmas Day military action in Sokoto State, now relocating to other states due to weak internal security coordination.
“The net effect, which has become self-evident from these industrial-scale killings in areas hitherto considered safe, is that the Tinubu administration is not winning the war against terror. It is merely redistributing it.”
