BAUCHI STATE GOVERNOR, BALA MOHAMMED LAMENTS RISE IN INSECURITY IN NIGERIA

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has lamented the rising cases of insecurity in the country, calling on the Federal Government to ensure it tackles the menace. 


Speaking to journalists immediately after the Eid-el-Fitr prayers on Thursday, he said the Federal Government is not entirely responsible for the rise in insecurity,  but the States, the Local Governments, the traditional institutions, major leaders, and stakeholders, should be held accountable.


He said; “We know these bandits, we know where they stay and what they do, sometimes, they are aided and abated by us.”


“We should fish them out because the Police in their numbers, cannot fight this war, they are already overwhelmed and I am calling on the federal government to work with us as governors and local governments because that is where the solution is.”


Bala Mohammed further said that the Federal Government’s security architecture has failed not because of any compromise but because the situation is overwhelming.


“I hope we will sit down as a country to reflect and make sure we bring solutions and we should restrain ourselves from certain responses and utterances because this country is so united, this country is so interwoven and if there are any breakages here and there and being muted by some people, the monumental humanitarian crises will be better imagined because I can’t imagine how it will be and certainly, it is a challenge,’’ he said.
