A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, on Wednesday, raised concerns about the current security challenges in the nation, saying it was more pressing than the 2023 elections.

Also, in the North-West, 519 incidents occurred, leading to the death of 2,229 individuals, while 1,989 were abducted. No fewer than 494 incidents were witnessed in the North-Central, of which 1,748 residents lost their lives, and 950 were kidnapped.

Olawepo-Hashim had listed a six point agenda as a pathway to security and peace in the country, some of which include: the establishment of a Defence Co-operation Agreement with a friendly nation to halt the enemy’s advance as well as creating the framework for states and local governments to have their own police.

According to him, with all manners of armed groups within two-hour drive to Abuja, , from Niger and Kaduna, the government should not downplay the alarm raised by Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State on the growing number of the Islamic State in West Africa Province fighters in the country.
