Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized General Bola Tinubu’s security infrastructure, claiming it has failed to protect the lives and property of Nigerians.
In a statement shared on X on Friday, Atiku lamented the daily reports of horrific killings across the country, noting that Nigerians are now forced to face these tragedies as a regular occurrence. His remarks followed the recent violent attacks in Bokkos, Plateau State, where gunmen targeted multiple communities.
On April 2, attackers opened fire on residents in the villages of Mangor Tamiso, Daffo, Manguna (Tagai), Hurti, and Tadai in Bokkos Local Government Area. As of the latest reports, the death toll has risen to 52, with the discovery of an additional 40 bodies.
Atiku expressed his deep condolences to the victims and their families, highlighting that the failures in the nation’s security framework have now become a nationwide issue. “The failure of Bola Tinubu’s security architecture has become an endemic phenomenon, with repeated killings—many of which don’t even make the headlines,” he stated.
The former PDP presidential candidate reiterated his call for a complete overhaul of the current security system to ensure the safety of all Nigerians.
