The former Governor of Anambra State described the attacks, which resulted in the death of 87 residents last week, as a stark reminder of the gravity of Nigeria’s security situation.

He reiterated his call for a paradigm shift in approach and declared war on insecurity, warning that it may consume the nation if left unchecked.
He said: “Again, I am saddened by the devastating news of the horrific killing of several innocent people in Mafia Village, Tarmuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State.
“This heinous act of violence is a stark reminder of the gravity of our security situation and the urgent need for a paradigm shift in our approach to the challenge.
“The relentless killings, maiming, and displacement of innocent Nigerians are a clear indication that our current security architecture is failing.
“We must acknowledge this reality and take bold steps, as I have always maintained, by declaring war on insecurity before it consumes us completely.”
