With the Ibadan security breach, the police and other units of the intelligence community have once more been exposed for their gross incompetence.

INVESTIGATION: Beautiful infrastructure but poor staffing, lack of drugs hinder PHC services in Borno communitiesTips to self-fulfilment in life, By Sunday AdelajaHard hit by climate change, farmers in Nigeria’s ‘food basket’ face new foesINVESTIGATION: Beautiful infrastructure but poor staffing, lack of drugs hinder PHC services in Borno communitiesTips to self-fulfilment in life, By Sunday...

According to the police boss, investigations are ongoing to unravel their sponsors. But a woman based in the USA, Modupe Onitiri-Abiola, who claims to be a wife of the late winner of the annulled 1993 presidential election, MKO Abiola, has already identified herself. In a video that has gone viral, she vituperates that: “Yoruba today 12 April 2024 begins as a sovereign nation and will operate as a country.” The authorities should swiftly apprehend all involved and diligently prosecute them.

Onitiri-Abiola, as is now obvious, is an incarnate of Nnamdi Kalu, and Simon Ekpa, who lives in Finland. The authorities should go after her immediately, and extradite her to Nigeria through diplomatic channels for her to face the law. It will, to some extent, dent the double-standards charge levelled against the Federal Government in respect of its handling of the Kalu case.

It has been argued that the feeling of nationhood is sorely lacking in Nigeria, and where this deficit of patriotism gnaws at the body politic, nation-building suffers. This needs to be understood and resolved. For this reason, making the country work as a true federation has become more crucial than ever.
