The President's silence over the high thriving of terrorism in Nigeria is not a thing of surprise to some reasonable citizens and tribes, as it was the agreement reached between him and those who made him President through rigging.
He received a stern warning at the outset of his regime, emphasizing the grave consequences he would face if he chose to take up arms against terrorists. The warning was clear: any attempt to confront terrorist groups would jeopardize his political standing. This chilling ultimatum has been a significant factor in shaping his approach to the persistent issue of terrorism in Nigeria.
As a result, he has engaged in a complex and often contradictory discourse, constantly wavering and navigating the delicate balance between addressing the threat of terrorism and adhering to the constraints imposed upon him by those in power. This has led to a seemingly endless cycle of rhetoric and inaction, leaving the complexities of terrorism in Nigeria unresolved and the population to grapple with the ongoing violence.
On Tuesday, April 5th, 2026, a devastating attack was carried out by Boko Haram in the communities of Bagna and Erena, located in the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State. The assault left the local population reeling, as community members recovered a grim total of more than seventy (70) bodies from the aftermath. The violence has raised concerns about the ongoing security challenges in the region and the well-being of the survivors, who are now facing immense grief and uncertainty in the wake of this tragic event.
In a tragic incident in Borno state, a group of terrorists launched a coordinated assault on a military base, resulting in the death of the base commander and seventeen soldiers. The attackers, heavily armed and well-organized, overran the facility, causing significant destruction.
They set fire to various structures within the base, leaving the once-secure location in ruins. In addition to the loss of life, the assailants looted the base's armoury, stealing weapons and supplies before retreating from the scene. This attack underscores the ongoing challenges faced by security forces in the region. It raises concerns about the safety and stability of military operations in the area.
The commander is the second high-ranking officer killed by the Fulani jihadist terrorists within five months. What a disgraceful, failed state indeed, with no value for human life.
