- Says people are angry
A Pro-North group, Arewa Consultative Forum, (ACF), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address the insecurity crippling the socio-economic activities of the North.
In a communique issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Emmanuel Yawe yesterday, the Forum expressed displeasure over the spate of insecurity in the region, calling on President Buhari to live up to his oath of office.
After its National Executive Council meeting held in Kaduna, the ACF said the call is simply to convey the anger and frustrations of many Northerners who voted President Buhari into power and for him to tackle the worsening insecurity in the North, which they warned is getting too late.
The northern group noted with displeasure that the rising cases of kidnapping, banditry and many other security breaches in the region have become a source of worry to those who voted for a government that they thought will secure their lives and property as spelt out in the 1999 Constitution.
The Forum also faulted the Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, for saying that the activities of bandits have been degraded in the North, stating that there have been serial killings of more people in the North by bandits contrary to the ministers statement.
