Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar slammed President Bola Tinubu's administration for failing to address escalating security challenges across Nigeria. He condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Plateau State that killed 47 people and criticized the ongoing violence in Borno State. Atiku argued that the government's ineffective approach has allowed terrorists to operate with dangerous impunity.
The political leader highlighted critical systemic failures in prosecuting captured terrorists. He called for special courts to expedite trials of suspected terrorists and bandits who have languished in custody since 2016. Atiku stressed that delayed justice undermines security force efforts and emboldens criminal groups to continue their attacks.
Abubakar warned that criminal groups easily cross national borders to execute terrorist activities. He demanded proactive measures beyond mere verbal condemnation of attacks. The former vice president emphasized that without real consequences, terrorist organizations will continue targeting innocent Nigerians.
Challenging the current administration's security infrastructure, Atiku argued that terrorist prosecution should receive the highest priority from the Attorney General. He pointed out that the slow criminal justice system effectively encourages violent criminal behavior. The political leader stressed the need for swift, meaningful action to protect citizens.
Atiku's statement underscored the urgent need for comprehensive security reforms. He believes the government must take immediate steps to address the growing threat of terrorist violence. The criticism highlights deep concerns about national security and the ability of current leadership to protect Nigerian citizens.
