Following the endless killings by the Boko Haram terrorist group and the general insecurity in the country, the Middle Belt Forum (MBF), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to review the nation’s security architecture.

The Forum made the call in a statement signed by its National President, Dr Pogu Bitrus, in Abuja, yesterday.

“Beyond doubt, looking at the performance profile of the military in the fight against terror since 2015, there is need for President Buhari to review the nation’s security architecture with a view to injecting new ideas so as to wipe out these terror organisations that have turned daily living into a nightmare for many Nigerians.

“It is clear that, considering the incessant attacks on our communities, there is need to review and evolve new security measures in tackling new waves of criminal attacks on our communities.

“The protection of lives and property remains the prerogative of government. In a situation where safety of lives and property is not guaranteed, the essence of government is utterly defeated.

“On this light, the Forum calls on the Federal Government to ensure safety of lives and property of all citizens from the claws of terrorists whose activities have turned our country into a cynosure of both local and international horrors,” the Middle Belt Forum, stressed. .

The MBF, however, commiserated with the Borno state government over the ugly incident at Auno community that led to the death of 30 persons and the destruction of many vehicles.

It further applauded the governor, Babagana Umara Zulum. for his efforts and partnership with the security agencies to ensure that the activities of terrorist is brought to a halt.

“As a Forum, we are impressed by the disposition of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum who has shown an unwavering devotion to the return of peace in a state that has become weary of terror attacks.

“Unlike his predecessors, Governor Zulum has demonstrated unprecedented zeal and devoutness in turning the tides against these terrorists that have denied peace to the state.

“As an umbrella organisation representing ethnic minorities in the Middle Belt Region, the Forum commiserates with the people of Borno state and hereby applaud the governor for his steadfast obligation to ending insurgence in the state,” the statement noted.

According to the Forum: “In an atmosphere devoid of the right leadership in tackling the present terror stalking our nation, Governor Zulum represents a metaphor for what is missing in evolving the right leadership needed to defeat the monster of terror devastating our communities.

“We call on him to remain irrevocably unswerving to aligning with relevant security agencies of government in order to eliminate terrorism in the state and the country in general.

“In this times of great sorrow, we pray to God to grant bereaved families of the victims the fortitude to bear the irreparable losses caused by these tragic events.

“The Forum is also encouraged by the promise made in Ethiopia by President Muhammadu Buhari that he would rescue all kidnapped girls abducted by Boko Haram.”
