Chai! Wetin dey happen for Niger State na serious matter o! Murtala Dantoro, wey dey represent Borgu Royal Family, don yarn moimoi about the recent wahala for Kasuwan Daji market. E talk say di attack wey happen for dere no be small thing, all because of lack of security and wetin him call ‘systematic failure’ wey dey involved federal and state government. E dey vex for wetin happen!
Dantoro come explain say di area wey dem dey call Borgu na big land, almost 13,000 square kilometers! How e go fit dey like that with no security wey go protect people? Na only God go fit save dem since Kainji Lake National Park self don dey idle for long, no use at all.
According to am, bandits no go just come stand like mumu, dem go find place wey dem go hide their head. E talk say na because of di size of Borgu and di way dem dey use surround border like Kebbi and Kwara, dem dey hit ground for di matter. E sabi wetin dey happen, as e talk say di place don turn soft target because security no dey there.
Dantoro no even stop for dere o, him still talk how bandits dey move from one area to another wey no get security. Na wetin him call ‘banditry migration’ and e fit lead to plenty more wahala if di government no wake up. When bandits see say nobody dey guard anywhere, dem go just dey come chop people like say na market dem dey visit.
See ehn, when dem don kidnap more than 250 students for Papiri before, wetin dem do? Nothing! Dem still dey expose di area, dem no fit secure where people dey stay. Insecurity dey thrive when community dey isolated, and na wetin dey happen now.
Dantoro don shout for di government say dem dey react to wahala instead of taking action before e go escalate. Dem need to wake up, because if dem no act quickly, di bandits go continue to dey flex dem muscles like say na dem dey in charge.
For di recent attack wey happen for January 3, bandits burn di market, kill 30 villagers, and carry plenty people go. Na wa o! Dem come from Kabe and do as dem like, dey shoot, loot, and kidnap people without any respuesta from security.
Wetin dey vex Dantoro pass be say, if birds fit abduct 315 students and teachers from school for Papiri, why security no fit dey for market day? This na clear sign say di governments no dey take dem job serious. Na wetin dem dey call systematic failure indeed!
