Nigerians have expressed worries over the deteriorating security challenges, stating the country is ‘sitting on a keg of gunpowder.’
Recall that there has been several cases of insecurity across Nigeria with killings and kidnapping at alarming rate.
Apart from the activities of the terrorist group Boko Haram in the Northeast, armed bandits routinely attack communities in Northwest, killing and kidnapping residents.
Kidnapping for ransom, gunmen attacks, attacking policemen, military and police formation/checkpoints, burning of police stations and attacks by armed herdsmen have become commonplaces in many other parts of Nigeria.
Nigerians expressed concerns on social media that killings, kidnapping and other nefarious activities have become daily occurrences in the country.
They called on President Muhammadu Buhari to do more to stop Boko Haram terrorists, bandits and other criminal elements threatening national security.
