Posted by The Niger State chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, has urged the federal and state governments to take proactive measures to end the state’s ongoing farmer killings.
On Saturday, Abdullahi Mohammed, the state president of the NYCN, stated that insecurity had resulted in the closure of nearly 200 schools in local areas during the last three years.
He bemoaned that the state has not calmed the flow of banditry and insurgency that has uprooted thousands of rural farmers, and that Minna, the state capital, has continued to see unholy actions of thugs and miscreants who have been disrupting the serenity of citizens.
“The government should engage traditional rulers and youngsters in the continuous struggle against insecurity,” he added, adding that “security operatives should be adequately equipped with modern fighting tools to allow them to fulfill their responsibilities successfully.”
If the government does not take immediate action to solve the state’s continued deaths, Mohammed youngsters would be obliged to take further action in three weeks.
The teens sought restitution for victims, villages, and security personnel who had loved ones killed, kidnapped, or relocated.
