As Insecurity Tears across the South-east

Chiemelie Ezeobi in collaboration with Christopher Isiguzo and Gideon Arinze in Enugu State, David-Chyddy Eleke in Anambra State, Emmanuel Ugwu-Nwogo in Abia State, Benjamin Nworie in Ebonyi State and Amby Uneze in Imo State report that the rising insecurity in the South-east occasioned by attacks on security and public infrastructure and acts of extra-judicial killings have turned the region into a hotbed of violence
Undoubtedly, the growing security threats from Nigeria’s South-east region gives cause for concern. But it was not always so. Until recently, the South-east region was arguably the most peaceful part of the country, but now, it has evolved into a hotbed of violence targeting state security institutions by armed men popularly referred to as unknown gunmen. ....

Clarion Call for Peace Championed by Women

Rebecca Ejifoma writes that the clarion call for peace in the South-east region was the thrust of the recent national press conference organised by the Credible Igbo Women Initiative
Since January this year, the Southeastern part of the country, with Imo State topping the list, has been bequeathed daily harassment, intimidation, extrajudicial killings of the youth, funerals, hysteria, trauma, displacement of people, public unrest, and endless nightmares, among others. These were the words of distraught mothers at a recent forum in Lagos.
While suing for peace, the women who spoke on the aegis of Credible Igbo Women Initiative, held a naational press conference tagged “Presentation of Facts in Pursuit of Peace in Igbo Land”. Condemning the incessant killings in the South-east, they charged the federal government to embrace dialogue and negotiations with the youth. ....

A Militarisation of the Southeast

A recent shoot-on-sight order against persons considered enemies of state in the Southeast by President Muhammadu Buhari, is worrisome. Amby Uneze writes
The recent shoot-on-sight order by President Muhammadu Buhari cannot be the solution to the insecurity in the Southeast today. Besides, importing soldiers and police personnel from the Northern part of the country to the Southeast with the charge to shoot-on-sight is more of a military culture. The essence of democratic rule is the total involvement of the people in the governance of their affairs and not government by force or kill-on-sight.
Before the current madness of attacking police and correctional facilities by the so-called unknown gunmen in Imo State, the people of the state had known peace all the while. The state and its people were regarded as one of the most peaceful states, where visitors and people from other warring zones found peace. ....

Daily Post Nigeria
Published
In recent times, there is nothing that has dominated public discussion more than insecurity which is propelled by Fulani herdsmen attackBan on Open Grazing: Gov Ortom and the other Govs s leading to the debate on prohibition of open grazing of cattle – to be or not to be. The discussions have been on how sustainable is the nomadic practice of cattle rearing in the fast growing population and the spiral of crisis the practice has caused in Nigeria. These discussions rising to a climax at a time Nigeria is facing the worst ever wave of insecurity have also tested the country’s unity and foundation, leadership sincerity and purpose. The discussions have equally raised the question that between human beings and cows, which does Nigeria place its premium on? ....
