Justice for Sokoto travellers

Whatever the overwhelming consequences, we must stand tall and demonstrate an unalloyed determination, sensitivity and dedicated resolve and commitment to secure the people from the perils attended to Sokoto travellers.

The frightful killing of Sokoto travellers was a repetition of the horrendous activities of terrorists in the northern part of this country. One wonders, when will the North see the end of this insecurity and mass killings?

We were really hurt by watching the horrific scenes of this predicament. That’s why I must say that failure to track down perpetrators of this heinous crime might ignite anger and huge disappointment.

Accordingly, the government must do all it can to stop banditry. It’s on good note to say that failure on the part of the government to take a serious action on this case may possibly discourage people from commuting through the length and breadth of the region. The government must dispatch a high-level special intelligence unit to unmask the ugly faces behind the dastardly action.

This is the right time to move beyond shadow chasing and look deep into the root cause of banditry in the northern part of this country. My condolence goes to the family of the victims. May the soul of the departed rest in peace. And may the bereaved families bear the fortitude of this loss.
