Speaking with Journalists in Karu Local government Area of the state, a group under the aegis of Concerned members of the people’s Democratic party PDP expressed concern that the state has been confronted with various challenges which the state government had not been able tackle effectiively.
According to the group,inability of the government in power to address the challenges confronting the state was largely responsible for the rise in insecurity and criminal activities in the state.
The Leader of the group, Shuaibu Danladi said, “Nasarawa state has been exposed to insecurity, home for criminals due to inability of the government to adequately tackle the security challenges bedeviling the state”
“Citizens and residents now live in fear in Nasarawa state because, the government has failed in it’s responsibility to provide enabling environment for the people to live peacefully, businesses to thrive.
“Nasarawa, just like other states in the North -East, North-west, is one of the states in North – central Nigeria beibg terrorised by bandits who raid villages, kill and abduct residents for ransom as well as burn homes after looting them.”
“We cannot continue to live in fear in our state when the government in power’s responsibility is to protect, provide and defend the citizenry has failed to fight Kidnapping which has become the order of the day with residents being kidnapped, killed, rubbed on daily basis”, the group lamented.
According to the PDP Concerned citizens, security agencies have no doubt been doing their best in fighting crimes in Nasarawa state, “but we are worried that enough enabling environments are not created for the agencies to succeed in their responsibility of securing the state.
“Students, Senior citizens of the state have now become a target for ransom. Government owe it a duty to ensure the safety of lives of the residents. Governor Sule’ must wake up to the challenges of addressing the inadequacies in the areas of insecurity, infrastructure, poverty reduction in Nasarawa state.”
