Insecurity: We’ll resort to self-help if, youth group tells Buhari

From: Femi Oyelola, Kaduna

The Arewa Youths Assembly has said it will not continue to fold its arms and watch the incessant killing of their people with little or no interventional effort from the powers that be, threatening that they will be forced to mobilize their members in the Northern part of the country, to resort to self-defense, if the prevailing anarchy is not halted.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Speaker of the Group Mohammed Salihu Danlami and made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.

The group expressed dismay that some saboteurs whom the president trusted with power, appears to be systematically handing over Nigeria and even President Muhammadu Buhari over to terrorist as it was in Afghanistan.

The statement added that the recent spades of killings and attacks in the nation’s capital, which ought to be the last place to fall in the case of any war, show that things have fallen apart and terrorist elements seems to be reigning supreme in the land.

It adds: “We reiterated our call on Mr. President to Sack the NSA who has run out of ideas with immediate effect, a failure which will force us to occupy the NSA’ office in the next 14 days, until he is suffocated out of his to feel what we the ordinary Nigerians are feeling as a result of many counsels in the past 7 years.

“Following the insistence of Babagana Monguno, the National Security Adviser (NSA) to continue functioning in his official capacity despite the growing insecurity and avoidable killings in our country, the Arewa Youths Assembly, wish to call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack, the NSA due to obvious failure of strategy and counsels emanating from his office.”
