Bello Masari’s candour | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

I have taken more than passing interest in the political career of Bello Masari since he emerged on the national scene as Speaker of the House of Representatives in succession to no-nonsense Ghali Umar Na’Abba who guarded the independence of the legislature fiercely. Bungling Buhari must thank his stars that he was not “born” in Na’Abba’s era and I can swear that Na’Abba is not out there perching menacingly in the distant horizon.

Early on Wednesday morning, 36 people were killed in Yelwan Zangam community in Jos North. This is barely two weeks after scores of travellers lost their lives. They were waylaid on the road. The attackers in Jos North Local Government Area first broke an iron bridge to prevent help from security agents reaching their victims. On August 18, gunmen had launched an attack on another area of Plateau State in which five people died and many were injured.

The Christian Association of Nigeria condemning in unmistakable agonising tone the killings on the Plateau, called for the establishment of state police without any further delay. It went on to state: “Stopping killings of the innocents by criminals cannot be done by mere issuing of press statements and holding periodic meetings with security chiefs by the president. The security architecture has collapsed and the evidence is the unending killings, kidnappings and other criminalities.

Nothing could have demonstrated the dire straits in which the country has been plunged than the invasion by gunmen of the Nigerian Defence Academy, officers’ first and oldest military training college in Nigeria. The Speaker, Kaduna State House of Assembly, Yusuf Zailani has described the invasion, killing and abduction of officers at the Academy as an assault on the country.
