The Unity Schools Old Students Association (USOSA), has called for a review of Nigeria’s national security architecture, specifically urban and rural centres.
The Association also tasked Nigerians to demand in unison that all the culprits of banditry and faceless sponsors of terrorism be immediately fished out and subjected to the full wrath of the law.
Reacting to insecurity challenges facing the country and the bandits’ attack on Abuja-Kaduna Road, USOSA in a statement signed by its President General, Lawrence Wilbert, expressed distraught in what it described as too many attacks saying it considers recent security breaches as assaults on the national psyche, peace, tranquillity, socio-political, economic development and prosperity of Nigerians.
The statement further demanded the enthronement of enduring national security, good governance, and utmost accountability from the government and its agencies.
“We decry the fact that the police, armed forces and other security agencies are evidently transfixed and confounded by the macabre antics of the evil merchants of death who, to all intents and purposes, have seized the nation by the jugular, making nonsense of our sovereignty and laying waste the lives of our people and our immemorial commonwealth. Equally appalling is the actuality that even the intelligence-gathering components of our security apparatus appear non-existent.”
USOSA lamented the lukewarm attitude of the general populace describing it as an unhealthy disinclination to hold the leaders and public officers accountable.
“All Nigerians, males and females, old and young, rich and poor, must now rise and say a decisive no to the myriad of mostly contrived or indulged evils that have befallen us in unprecedented magnitudes. Let us now, as a people, review our actions and contributions to our collective security.“
