If Nigerians are waiting for the APC-led government of President Bola Tinubu to protect them from being abducted or killed by terrorists and bandits, then many people believe the country could face even greater security challenges in the future.
This may sound alarming, but it reflects the concerns of many Nigerians regarding the current security situation across the country. According to various reports and surveys, terrorists and bandits operate from forests and remote areas across Nigeria. There have also been allegations that some of these criminal elements were originally brought into the country by certain political actors for specific purposes.
Critics argue that the continued attacks on communities, kidnappings, and killings are creating fear among citizens and weakening public confidence in the ability of the government to provide security.
To address the problem, many Nigerians believe communities should strengthen lawful neighbourhood security initiatives and work closely with security agencies to protect lives and property. They argue that greater surveillance of forests and remote areas, combined with effective intelligence gathering and coordinated security operations, could help reduce the activities of terrorists and bandits.
As things stand, there are also allegations that some individuals within the security system may be aiding criminal groups. If such allegations are true, those responsible should be identified, investigated, and brought to justice.
Again, many Nigerians believe that if stronger security measures are consistently implemented and criminal networks are dismantled, terrorism and banditry can be significantly reduced across the country.
