President Vows to Crush Terrorists After Monarch’s Tragic Murder

President Vows to Crush Terrorists After Monarch’s Tragic Murder: President Bola Tinubu has vowed to take decisive action against terrorists in Nigeria following the tragic abduction and murder of Alhaji Isa Bawa, the District Head of Gatawa District in Sokoto State. The monarch was kidnapped several weeks ago while returning from an event and was later killed by his abductors despite ransom demands. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many criticizing the government’s response to the growing insecurity in the country.

The president’s statement, released through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, described the attack as “deeply disturbing” and “heinous.” However, critics argue that the government’s response has been inadequate, with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar stating that the failure to show concern or devise effective security strategies has contributed to the escalation of such events.

Atiku emphasized the need for enhanced security measures to safeguard citizens’ lives and property, while Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, urged security agencies to intensify their efforts to address the growing menace of insecurity. Obi also commiserated with the family and people of Gobir, Sokoto State, and prayed for the deceased to be granted paradise.

The incident highlights the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, where even revered figures like traditional rulers are not immune to kidnapping and violence. The government’s response to the incident has been criticized as inadequate, with many calling for decisive action to be taken against terrorists and for effective security strategies to be put in place to protect citizens’ lives and property.
