Centre For Righteous Living, (CRIL), a non-governmental organization raised to ensure and promote righteousness in government has called on the federal government to act swiftly to nip in the bud the raging violence and attacks of innocent people in different parts of Nigeria. The body made the statement at the end of their monthly meeting recently held in Lagos.
Recently, some states of Nigeria like Plateau, Benue and Ondo have witnessed serious violence attacks by alleged Fulani herders and bandits killing their innocent hosts in their numbers.
CRIL in a statement made by the Chairman of its Caretaker Committee, Dr. Christopher Olatunji Abolade expressed their worries about the state of insecurity in different parts of Nigeria, where Nigerians could no more live and move freely without the fears of intruders, bandits and kidnappers who descend on individuals and communities, killing people and destroying their hosting communities.
The body therefore called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to do something as a matter of urgency and not to wait until Nigerians take laws into their hands by resulting to self defence as advocated by some people.
They therefore suggested that the federal government should get to the roots of the matter by supporting thorough investigation where the sponsors of these violence would be apprehended, and the laws would be made to take its course on them without fear or favour.
CRIL noted that the rate of killings was becoming too much and if the federal government did not take a decisive action about it, it might not only discredit it but also consume the government. President Tinubu was advised not to allow sabouteurs to undermine his government.
The government was warned of the consequences of the violence and attacks which might lead to total breakdown of law and order where citizens and communities would be led to self defence.
The federal government should live up to expectation and stop the Fulanis from their dream of spreading the notion of Islamic ideas to the southern part of the country.
The federal government should deal decisively with the culprits and their sponsor, noting that rehabilitation of condemned bandits would not work.
The state governors were also called to rise to the challenge of securing their states as they called on them not to allow strangers to come and destroy their respective states.
The government was told to implement its Livestock Reforms and the creation of Livestock ministry to ensure that ranching is promoted while nomadic farming is controlled.
Traditional rulers were also called to support the government in ensuring security in different parts of the country, and to ensure that no stranger should enter any community without the knowledge of traditional rulers.
“Community policing should be encouraged, Vigilante groups like Amotekun should be empowered with arms that could counter the forces of the intruders.
The National Assembly should throw its weight behind the Federal government to curb banditry, kidnappings and killings across Nigeria,” CRIL advised.
