Jama’atul Nasril Islam (JNI) on Thursday urged Federal Government to act fast before insecurity consumed Nigerians.
The JNI , while condemning the killings of 23 Sokoto travellers by bandits and another 16 people inside a mosque in Niger State, said the killings of Nigerians is alarming.
JNI’s Secretary-General, Dr Abubakar Khalid Aliyu, said this in a statement on Thursday.
It said the government’s silence over Maiduguri 1,000 Housing Estate bomb blast, Jos prison break, commuters burnt at Isa town in Sokoto, and multitude of carnages in Sokoto–Zamfara axis, calls for serious sober reflection.
“The federal government should be seen to be proactive on security matters, as well as assure and assuage citizens’ fears at critical moments of grief,” the statement said.
“The recurrent security challenges such as kidnappings, armed robberies, rising bomb blasts and attack of Boko Haram cum ISWAP insurgents, in addition to ethnic violence here and there within Nigeria is alarming.
“Government needs to wake up as citizens are becoming more and more agitated.
“Government should take the bull by the horn by prosecuting promoters of hate speech and tame the rising cases of banditry in Nigeria, otherwise it will become a norm that cannot be challenged.”
