From Borno to Edo, Sokoto and Taraba, no fewer than 34 Nigerians were killed through the attacks of Boko Haram insurgents, herdsmen and gunmen, as well as cult clashes.The killings occurred as the Police outlined how Nigeria can wriggle out of the insecurity logjam, saying that law enforcement agencies alone cannot solve the problem, just as security experts asked the Federal Government to be clear over its position on payment of ransom to kidnappers.
Last week, three suicide bombers wreaked havoc at a missionary hospital in Molai village, leaving scores injured, while the suicide bombers died on the spot. An unconfirmed report also has it that the newly commissioned Power super station that supplies electricity to the entire metropolis, Jere Local Government Area and other communities, was torched, leading to total blackout since Tuesday.
It was learned that the gunmen then went to Balle police station where they burned down patrol vehicles and the building before moving to the palace of the district head to kill him. The latest killing was the hacking of three persons to death at Isibor Junction, adjacent St Saviour Road, near Third Junction.
Vanguard gathered that the renewed killings started on Sunday night when a victim was reportedly killed at Iyobosa Street, opposite Edo College, at a place popularly called Aso Rock. Another was said to have been killed by Second East Circular Road, near Etiosa, by Lucky Junction. Spokesman of the state Police Command, DSP David Misal, told reporters in Jalingo yesterday that six people died.
He noted that pregnant and nursing mothers were among those displaced and called for assistance from the state government. The state Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Mohammed Sahabi, who spoke to newsmen via telephone, said he was just returning from a trip and will comment on the incident when properly briefed on the matter.To stem the tide of killings, the police have asked Nigerians begin to look beyond what it called “core law enforcement approach.”
According to him, adoption of multifaceted crime fighting model, involving the active participation of state and local governments, traditional institutions, schools, religious groups and other socialization agencies’ were necessary.’ “We must tackle youth unemployment and poverty, and provide functional education to our younger generation. We must increase the manpower base of the police, effectively fund our police and provide our Police modern crime fighting tools.
