Furthermore, NBM of Africa condemns the attack on the Nigeria Police Force and other government agencies in the Eastern part of the country by unknown men. Nigeria is the only country we have and we cannot sit down and allow the country to be thrown into lawlessness, kidnapping, and banditry.

“The Nigeria police and other security apparatus must be proactive in tackling kidnapping and banditry. President Muhammed Buhari must show the political will to end this insecurity. This is his last term in office and he must do everything within his power to leave a good legacy.

“NBM of Africa wants to commend the effort of the Governor of Bornu and urge all other Governors in the Nigeria Governors forum to support him and share intelligence on best practices in the collective effort to curb insecurity, NBM of Africa believes the fight against insecurity is a collective responsibility and not the government alone.

“NBM of Africa call on well-meaning Nigerians, civil society, religious bodies, Non-governmental organization to put hands together; speak up and act to end this insecurity in our country. Anyone can be a victim, no one knows who may be the next target, hence our call for all-inclusiveness in the fight against insecurity in our dear nation… Security is a collective responsibility.”
