Over the past few months, there has been a reign of terror in the North Central States by intransigent terrorists determined to render the entire region desolate.

[FILES] Security personnel stand guard in the Kukawa Village in the Kanam Local Government Area of the Plateau state on April 12, 2022 after resident’s houses were burnt down during an attack by bandits. –

A major implication of the heightened insecurity in the North-Central geopolitical zone is a shortfall in food production countrywide. Also, the internally generated revenue of the affected states has been greatly depleted due to a decline in economic activities. Equally worrisome, is the staggering number of children that are now out-of-school and displaced residents.

Reacting to the ravaging security challenge, the Director of Civil Liberty Organisation , North Central, Comrade Steve Aluko–Daniel, admonished the government to bear its pangs and go all out against the terrorists. Also, security experts have recommended community policing and a more robust synergy among established Armed Forces, Police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps , and other security agencies.

Nothing can be more pretentious than to imply that a group of people levying war against the State, and who ordinarily should be standing trial for treason, should be given a pat on the back and told to “go and sin no more” without any atom of consideration for the victims of their atrocities. What then is the essence of justice? It is clear that unless the wings of these criminals are completely clipped, they will definitely extend their reign of terror to other parts of the federation.
