Rev. Samson Ayokunle, The National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has reveal reason why the FG must take serious insecurity in Nigeria.
Ayokunle while speaking during a visit to Jalingo,Taraba State to visit those affected by the herdsmen attack said the insecurity should be address quickly to avoid civil rebellion in the country.
According to him, the frequent attacks of farmers which always lead to loss of lives and destruction of properties is unacceptable.
“The seeming indifference on the part of government to bring the perpetrators to book is a clear call to civil rebellion,” he said.
“The time has come for us to begin to pay higher premium on human lives. We can not continue to have people killed and displaced from their ancestral homes for no fault of theirs, while government seems to turn a blind eye to all of these.
“This is an invitation to civil rebellion that would be too much for the government to handle. You must understand that no one has the monopoly to violence.
“These herdsmen attack with sophisticated weapons and operate with impunity. Government should provide adequate security for the people and make sure that the perpetrators are arrested and the sources of their arms and ammunitions thoroughly investigated and punished accordingly.
“If this is not done and the people resort to self help, I don’t see how government would be able to contain it. If government can not handle the situation, then, the respective states should be allowed to set up their own security systems to battle the situation,” he said
