Insecurity: Group Tells FG To Find Lasting Solution

THE Federal Gov­ernment has been urged to channel efforts towards halting persistent killings in Nigeria.

An advocacy group, the Igbo Women As­sembly (IWA), gave the advice following FG’s reaction to the threat is­sued by President Don­ald Trump of the United States of America to use military force to rout terrorists wreak­ing havoc in Nigeria.

In a statement signed by its President, Lolo Nneka Chimezie, re­acted to the Ameri­can President’s tweet, pointed out that “the noise about 2027” gen­eral election was al­ready drowning the cries of Nigerians af­fected by the killings if not that Trump heard the wailings and plead­ings for outside help.

It blamed both the local and the interna­tional media for not putting the atrocious activities of the Islamic fundamentalists and Fulani herdsmen in proper perspectives, covering the killings with politically correct euphemisms.

“These atrocities were also scarcely mentioned in the main­stream global media. We complained, they tagged us separatists, while the mainstream media dismissed the systematic genocides as herder-farmer clashes,” IWA lamented.

“The casualty figures speak for itself ”, the group said.
