EDITORIAL: Insecurity In Nigeria Growing From Bad To Worse Under Buhari

These questions can be answered in one sentence: Insensitivity of the Nigerian government. Nigeria, under the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, does not value human life and safety. This is evident in the manner and approach in which the government treats its citizens when it comes to securing lives and property. It appears the government is fast losing its power and relevance to terrorists. The Nigerian government must, as a matter of urgency, strategize on how to tackle the rising insecurity in the country, to change the status quo. Today, there are pockets of violence and attacks nearly in all 36 states, including the federal capital territory (FCT). These attacks range from kidnapping, armed robbery, ritual killings, smuggling, culti
