The Dangerous Cycle Of Impunity: How Nigeria’s Leaders Are Nurturing A Culture Of Impunity

By Buhari Olanrewaju Ahmed 

As President Tinubu continues to set troubling precedents by granting pardons to individuals accused or convicted of serious crimes such as murder and drug trafficking, a dangerous message is being sent to the nation. By normalising impunity at the highest levels, Nigeria risks creating a political environment where those with questionable pasts may one day rise to positions of power and leadership. 

When convicted criminals are absolved of their wrongdoing through political influence, it erodes public trust in the justice system and undermines the rule of law.

It is deeply disheartening and regrettable that Nigeria has reached a point where justice appears selective—where some individuals, despite being found guilty of heinous crimes, are freed due to their political connections, while others, like Nnamdi Kanu, remain detained despite court rulings declaring them not guilty. 

Such double standards expose the deep moral and institutional decay within the system and raise serious questions about fairness, accountability, and equality before the law.

The government’s approach to negotiating with terrorists, rehabilitating them, and reintegrating them into society—despite the destruction, kidnappings, and killings they have caused—further worsens the situation. It sends a demoralising signal to victims and law-abiding citizens that crime pays, while lawful dissent or peaceful activism is treated as treason. 

A government that pardons murderers and drug traffickers while keeping political prisoners behind bars cannot genuinely claim to be committed to justice or national security.

This reality calls for sober reflection. Citizens must understand that leadership choices have far-reaching consequences. Electing individuals without integrity, compassion, or a sense of justice ultimately leads to moral collapse and national instability. When those in power disregard the sanctity of human life and the principles of justice, they weaken the very foundation of governance.

My advice is that no one should ever be unjustly killed, harmed, or condemned under such a system. The same government that pardons killers and drug lords today could one day protect the very people responsible for violence and suffering tomorrow.

 This is a grim reminder of what happens when voters choose leaders based on propaganda, ethnic sentiment, or personal gain rather than character and competence. 

Only divine intervention can rescue Nigeria from the calamities that lie ahead if the nation continues on this dangerous path of rewarding crime and punishing truth.

 Tinubu granted sweeping clemency and posthumous pardons to a total of 147 convicts, inmates and deceased Nigerians, including Maryam Sanda, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Sir Herbert Macaulay, Major General Mamman Vatsa, Professor Magaji Garba, and dozens of illegal miners, drug convicts, and white-collar offenders.

APC government since its inception in 2015 has been a terrorist and criminal friendly government .

APC Government Owned the Terrorists: Nigerian Troops Rescue More Kidnapped Victims, Continue Onslaught Against Bandits in Kwara State

The Nigerian Army has said it's Troops of 2 Division/Sector 3, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have sustained aggressive operations against bandits in Kwara State, leading to the successful rescue of three kidnapped victims at different locations within the Babanla Forest on Saturday, 11 October 2025.

According to the statement made available to the general public, acting on credible intelligence, troops deployed at the Patrol Base Babanla swiftly mobilised to a suspected bandit hideout and rescued Mrs Oluwabusayo Taiwo, aged 25, and her 3 years old son, Taiwo Irayomide, who were among the victims abducted at Oke-Ode on 28 September 2025.

The rescued victims are currently receiving first aid treatment at the Patrol Base sick bay and will be reunited with their family members in due course.

Also the troops while on routine patrol along a suspected bandit route, also rescued Mr Mohammadu Sani, known as Mai Shayi,* a 40 years old local tea seller from Garkarima. The bandits fled upon sighting the patrol team, abandoning the victim, who was found in a pool of blood. Troops recovered one dane gun and a cutlass from the scene. The victim is currently receiving medical attention at the Patrol Base sick bay.

The Commander, 22 Armoured Brigade, Brigadier General Ezra Barkins, commended the troops for their swift response and professionalism, while reaffirming that the Nigerian Army will remain committed towards ensuring the safety and security of all citizens and will continue to intensify operations aimed at restoring peace and stability across Kwara State and its environs 

It is on records that insecurities in Nigeria have been aggravated since enthronement of APC leadership in 2015. Beyond Boko Haram terrorism, the country has graduated to multiple non state actors terrorism by bandits , kidnapping for ransoms and Fulani herdsmen killing the defenseless and helpless citizens while the Tinubu led APC gangs keeps imposing taxes, devalued national currency, reduced the purchasing power of the people and keeps the country permanently as the global capital of poverty. The government has also crippled the opposition political parties in the country and silence critics

KWARA SOUTH IS  BLEEDING

Profile picture 

APC government came to Power in the year 2015 with empty rhetorics to fight and end Boko Haram terrorism but the party only succeeded in intriduciynore terrorists groups such as the Fulani herdsmen, bandits, megsl kidnapping for ransom and the current group unleashing terrors in the North Central of the country.

APC government has failed in the primary responsibilities of governance, protection of lives and properties but Tinubu led APC gangs only knows how to collect taxes, reduced the purchasing power of the citizens, sharing abject poverty for greater numbers of people.

 It is the constitutional duty of the President to protect lives and property — not to multiply taxes while citizens are fleeing their hometowns.

You cannot build national prosperity on insecurity.

When people abandon their homes, farmlands, and local economies out of fear, the foundation of governance collapses.

Security is not just a moral duty — it is the economic backbone of every stable nation.

How do you tax a farmer who can’t access his land?

How do you expect productivity from a citizen who sleeps in fear?

Every displaced family represents a shrinking economy — a town losing its workforce, a market losing its buyers, and a government losing its legitimacy.

Yet in this country, the death of Nigerians has become just another statistic — names reduced to numbers, headlines recycled like weather reports.

We mourn for a day, move on by tomorrow, and the government calls it “progress.”

Leadership without security is taxation without humanity.

While the government focuses on new levies and economic jargon, the real economy — the people — is dying in silence.

And those joining this administration to tell us it’s making progress are the worst kind of humans —

soulless defenders of failure.

They are like the Uruk-hai from The Lord of the Rings — bred for destruction, loyal only to evil, and blind to the ruin they serve.

To worsen it, they travel across the world gaslighting citizens —

telling the international community that there is no corruption back home,

while the nation they left behind bleeds from the wounds of theft, lies, and silence.

And the saddest part?

Many of you think you’re supporting your party while all this evil is taking place.

You defend the same system that is destroying your future,

clap for oppressors who wouldn’t spend a second living your reality,

and mock those who still dare to speak.

You cannot measure GDP when the ground itself is unsafe.

Until lives are protected, every new tax is blood money collected from the displaced and forgotten.

A serious government protects first, reforms next, and taxes last.

But in today’s Nigeria, the order is reversed — we are being taxed for a nation we can no longer live in.

Bandits on Rampage In Kwara State, Kill One, Abduct Stepbrother In Fresh Attack In Gbale Community, Face Resistance From Locals

Profile picture 

Armed bandits were reportedly on Rampage in renewed wave of attacks across Kwara’s riverine and forested communities, many of which have faced repeated kidnappings and killings in recent months.


According to the reports on Thursday, Bandits again struck Edu Local Government Area in Kwara State, killing one person and abducting another during an early-morning raid in Gbale community. Different eyewitnesses accounts confirmed that the attackers arrived around 2:00 a.m. but were met with fierce resistance from local hunters and vigilantes, who engaged them with superior firepower.

Overwhelmed, the gunmen retreated toward Bishewa settlement. In Bishewa, the assailants launched another assault, killing one of two stepbrothers in their home and abducting the other.

“They killed Ndako, the elder brother, and took the younger one, Audu, away,” a source told reporters.

The renewed wave of attacks has escalated tension across Kwara’s riverine and forested communities, many of which have faced repeated kidnappings and killings in recent months.

In response, the Nigerian Army has reportedly deployed a full brigade and heavy equipment to Kwara South and parts of Kwara North to flush out bandits from forest hideouts.

According to Rafiu Ajakaye, Chief Press Secretary to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, troops were observed advancing through Oke Ode and Babanla in Ifelodun Local Government Area.

The operation, conducted under Operation Fasan Yanma, also covers the Edu and Patigi councils, where soldiers are combing dense forests frequently used by kidnappers for ransom activities

Gruesome killings in Kogi, Kwara states: leadership must be about protecting lives and property, says Peter Obi

Peter Obi 

Following the daily increasing bandits attacks and gruesome murder of the Nigerians in different parts of the country, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections H. E. Peter Obi has said the country's leadership must strive to protect lives and properties in the different parts of the country.

There is no doubt that under the APC leadership and administration of the country since 2015 till date, the country has fair worst than ever. Lives have become short and brutish. The leadership are only concerned about looting and plundering the land's mineral resources illegally without minding who died and who survived.

Peter Obi said: "I am deeply disturbed by the tragic reports of yet another senseless attack in Kogi State’s Yagba West Local Government Area, where over 27 innocent Nigerians were killed by armed bandits. The images are heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire people of Kogi State."

"This comes as reports from neighbouring Kwara state say that nine out of 16 LGs in Kwara state are under bandits’ siege, whoW now demand food and drinks as ransom. The nine LGs in the bandit control include Baruten, Edu, Ekiti, Ifelodun, Isin, Kaiama, Oke-Ero, Patigi, and Irepodun.'

"The security situation is now a national emergency. It is deeply troubling that insecurity has become a normal occurrence in our nation, where our citizens die daily more than in countries at war. This is not normal."

"Our citizens cannot sleep in their own homes in peace, our farmers are being driven away from their lands by bandits, our children are living in fear of being attacked, and our nation continues to bleed. Leadership must be about protecting lives and property, the most basic duty of any government."

"May God grant eternal rest to the victims, comfort to their grieving families, and give wisdom and courage to our leaders to protect every Nigerian life." PO concluded.

PRESS RELEASE : Killings in Ilorin — Alaafin takes proactive steps to fish out perpetrators, checkmate criminal onslaughts

The Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Engineer Abimbola Akeem Owoade 1, ,has called on Nigerians to stand together against blood guzzlers and enemies of state, nature, and sound reasoning, who take solace in mindless killings of innocent souls.

This, he said would reinforce collective will, to completely snatch the country and destiny from the jaws of insanity and barbarism, just as socio-cultural orientations that uphold the sanctity of life and the intrinsic dignity in the human person must never be surrendered to the ungodly.

Oba Owoade gave the admonition on the heels of recent killings of some people who were  of Yoruba' extraction by those suspected as Fulani herdsmen at Oke Ode  area in Kwara State.

Disturbed about this ugly development , and putting into consideration the fact that Yorubas and Fulanis had  for decades been living harmoniously without let or hindrance,  Alaafin had  contacted the Kwara State Governor,  AbdulRahman  AbdulRasaq on the incident and how best he could come in , in order to nip in the bud the criminal onslaught by the bandits.

The Governor in his response lauded the Alaafin for his concerned , visionary style of administration and as the Titan of Yorubaland , assured the Paramount Ruler that a battalion of soldiers had been deployed to the scene of the gory incident .

The  Alaafin who lamented about the mindless killings masterminded by suspected Fulani herdsmen  wondered why the herdsmen became threats to peace and security, adding they had for long been in existence without serious criminal records as is presently the case.

Oba Owoade enjoined the Federal Government to ensure that all those found culpable in the mindless killings in Kwara State are brought to justice and to serve as a credible deterrence.

According to the Alaafin, ‘’there can be no national development without relative peace and stability.  There have been greater challenges of security in recent times than at any point in time in our history, thus rendering our political stability fragile, democratic institutions and processes fluid,

"" Government, political leaders and followers, and all of us, must have the courage and honesty to get to the root causes of our current state of insecurity, underpinned by criminality, insurgency and of recent terrorism by herdsmen’’.

He went further,  "’Our leaders and followers should not take  the issue of security for granted, but to ensure urgent and immediate steps  are taken to consciously respond to current threats by architectonic designing and building a security system which would create a stable and relatively peaceful environment, conducive for national development. We must accept the reality that while it is necessary to create unity in diversity, we must identify and respect our differences, which is diversity in unity"".

While eulogizing security agencies for their steadfastness and commitment to duties, Alaafin who warned against acts that are detrimental to peace, orderliness and unity of the country, assured all ethnic groups living in the metropolis of adequate protection of lives and properties.

‘’Before now, Oyo Empire under the reign of Alaafin not only remained the first to provide cattle ranches for Fulani herdsmen in Yoruba land, another ten acres of land were made available for convenience of the herdsmen free of charge, in order to ensure harmonious relationship and peaceful co-existence among all ethnic groups residing in the metropolis’’.

Oba  Owoade added, ‘’whenever there are skirmishes between farmers and the hersmen, the Royal Father would adopt his age-long conflict resolution mechanisms, which provides opportunity to interact with the parties concerned, promotes consensus-building, social bridge reconstructions and enactment of order in the  Empire"".

Katsina Massacre: Ribadu Must Wake Up, Tinubu Must Step Up or Step Down Says Labour Party

Nuhu Ribadu should revise his Kuru training manuals

Prince Tony

Labour Party, a major opposition political party in Nigeria has condensed the cruel massacre of the innocent citizens in a mosque in Kastina State. 

The Party  in a statement signed by its national publicity secretary Prince Tony Akeni expressed deepest condolences to the families of casualties and survivors of the Katsina mosque massacre, and subsequent mass abduction of innocent citizens by terrorist bandits.

The attack took place last Tuesday August 19 in the Unguwar Mantau village of Malumfashi local government area of the state.

"We also condole with the Acting Governor of Katsina state, Alh. Faruk Lawal Jobe, and other government functionaries of conscience who must be sorely disconcerted by yet another chapter of wanton killings involving 30 innocent Muslims who were shot dead in their mosque during morning prayers, and over twenty others in adjoining homes to the mosque who were locked inside their houses and burnt to death. In addition to this had been the overwhelming urgency of rescuing alive 76 other citizens - men, women and children - who were abducted from the environ and herded away into hell by the terrorists after the dastardly mosque killings. We, as a party, were waiting for progress on the rescue of these citizens before putting out our statement. Happily, we have just confirmed today Thursday August 28 that the mass of abducted Katsina villagers have been rescued."

"A window to the hell-on-earth insecurity nightmares the citizens of parts of Katsina, Middle Belt and similar Northern states are facing in their localities is provided by Mr. Usman Usman, the councillor representing Almu ward of Malumfashi local government council, as follows: "The bandits have decreed that the farmers of these communities will only be allowed to enter their farms between the hours of 8am and 1pm, after which they must vacate the farms or be abducted or killed." Another resident corroborated that despite each farming household previously paying a #10,000 protection fee to the bandits, they still strike at will on regular basis, cart away unchallenged their livestock and in one recent case took five residents with them into their forest lairs; a nightmare that has turned the area and its adjoining districts to a ghost land as people flee in search of peaceful livelihood elsewhere."

"As a political party passionately committed in ideology, principles and empathy to an egalitarian redemption of our country and remaking her into a nation that works for all, the protection of lives and properties, the pursuit of happiness, freedom of worship and livelihood without breach is non-negotiable, in contrast to the pandemic state of insecurity in our country as demonstrated by the traumatizing broad-day horror visited on our Unguwar Mantau people."

According to the statement, since the unfortunate incident last week, Senator Nenadi Usman led Labour Party has been monitoring the aftermath of the coordinated horror through the Katsina state. 

"Sadly, while we were still holding our breaths for a comprehensive report before making this official statement, we were apprised further by our party's local humanitarian sentry in Katsina state that less than 48hrs after the chilling assault on the Unguwar mosque, more than a dozen other Katsina communities were seized by freely ranging platoons of bandits and a pay-or-perish levy of #15million naira imposed on hapless Nigerian citizens in 16 communities in that part of our country. This information has since been corroborated to be true by local residents, including a serving councillor of Almu ward, one of the bandits overrun communities. "

"Aggregating these distressing data and gross shortcomings of Nigeria's security governance by the APC led administration, our hearts bleed and our prayers go out to the immediate family, clerics of the attacked mosque, the ransomed communities' leadership and the good people of Katsina state in general. "

"It is incredibly saddening that the deadly assault on humanity, continued regression to stone age savagery in wide swathes of our country by marauding terrorists and their conscience-dead sponsors in government are, by their own admission, well-known to the APC administrations of both late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari and his tourist successor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Yet no decisive and terminal solution by the APC managers of our country appears anywhere in sight. It is even more saddening when you reflect on several factors that ought to have made the Unguwar mosque attack both avoidable and impossible."

More Security Budgets, More Insecurity...

One would ask: how is that possible except in Nigeria? It is only with the ruling APC administration that such paradox is a regular assault to logic and sensibility of the Nigerian people: the more security budgets rise, the more insecurity, violent crimes and killings rise across the country. 

Between 2016 and 2022, Nigeria's APC administration under late Muhammadu Buhari burnt US$9.9billion on tackling insecurity in Nigeria. The national defence budget against insurgency, which was US$2.4billiion in 2020, skyrocketed nearly double to US$4.5billion. In 2025, the administration of his successor, Bola Tinubu, jerked this up to an all-time summit of #4.38trillion or #6.57trilliion. In the equivalent period, Nigeria Police budget rose from #783billion in 2022 to #969.6billion in 2024.

The third most populous state in Nigeria with a projected current population of 10.69million citizens spread across its 34 local government areas, Katsina state has produced two presidents of our country, the best ever and also the worst ever before Nigerians woke up on May 29, 2023 to find Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the hallowed seat of their Presidency. These are PDP produced President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua of blessed memory and the first APC President, late Muhammadu Buhari of blistering memory respectively. These are beside countless late and living military generals and political stalwarts, including two-time Speaker of the House of Representatives and two-time Governor of the state, Alh. Aminu Bello Masari.

A cosmo-Nigerian state with a fair spread of virtually every tribe of the country found in it, the Yorubas, surprisingly, are the third most populous tribe in Katsina state behind the Fulani's population of 1.2million citizens, which is itself a distant second position from the Hausas who are about 9.3million citizens. Over these populations, Katsina state is not barren of federal and state government security formations, infrastructures and personnel. Among the many security establishments in the state are the Natsinta Barracks, located on the Katsina-Jibba Road. Constructed in 1973 and commissioned in 1977, it was originally established to accommodate the 82 Battalion which was shut down in Eastern Nigeria after the civil war and relocated to Katsina and is now the home of both Nigeria's 17 Brigade and 35 Battalion, a stone throw from Katsina main city.

The comprehensive representation of security services in the state's condolence delegation to the victims of the Unguwar mosque murders reflects the full presence of government's security apparatuses in the state. These included the state Commissioner of Police, the Commander of the Nigerian Army’s 17 Brigade, the State Director of Department of State Services (DSS) and the State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). These were in addition to the state government's components led by the Secretary to the State Government, Alh. Abdullahi Faskari, on behalf of the state governor, Alh. Dikko Radda, who has been on a self-catering medical vacation in another part of the planet while his citizens were being mowed down like flies and survivors abducted like livestock into bandit annexed forests.

With the above plethora of security presence, paraphernalia and personnel existing and drawing huge federal and state budget shares from government, why do the free killing sprees and abductions for ransom such as last Tuesday's mosque massacre in Katsina, Plateau, Benue and other parts of the north still happen, almost frequently and at will, without the soulless perpetrators being brought to book and their menace exterminated?

APC, Government of Funeral Delegations

Between the PDP and APC maladministration of Nigeria, in spite of Nigeria's staggering annual defence budgets, police and state governors' security votes, huge parts of which end in the pockets of corrupt sector actors and turn up in the face of the people as private estates, plazas and plush property investments in and outside Nigeria, reports of Nigerians who die everyday are worse than countries in full-blown war and chilling.

In a recent research titled "Economics of Nigeria’s Kidnap Industry," SB Morgen Intelligence (SBM), a geo-crime research firm, reported that in one year alone between July 2024 and June 2025, Nigerian families paid to kidnappers #2.57billion or $1.66million, involving 4,722 victims in at least 997 incidents in which at least 762 victims and rescue participants were killed.

In the five years between 2006 and 2021, the country's cadaver records show that Nigerians who died from terrorist killings were 50,252 committed in 2,288 terror acts, while those who died from other violent crimes - kidnappings, robbery, rape, police brutality, extra-judicial killings and sundry felonies - were 51,425. The combined figure of 101,677 citizen-to-corpse life extermination amounts to a minimum of 57 Nigerians whose lives were violently cut short every single day in the last five years of PDP's and APC's combined maladministrations. 

The above figures do not include hospital casualties from pandemic failure of the nation's notorious healthcare system, motorist accidents, malnutrition, infant mortality, suicides and other causes. It also excludes the death records of the four years between 2022 and 2025. 

During a comparative four-year period of fierce, no holds barred full-scale international ballistics war which decimated parts of cities between Russia, a major world power, and Ukraine, Ukraine lost 73,920 soldiers and civilians between 2022 and this August 2025. This is according to the _deathometer_ metrics of renowned war research organizations including Mediazona, the Book of Memory Group and Britain's BBC. This comes to 50 persons killed everyday in war-torn Ukraine in the last four years. Nigeria is not at war yet loses 57 citizens per day, seven corpses more than Ukraine, over a comparative period scale. Who says Nigeria is not at war?

Are you still wondering or senselessly outraged that the Canadian government declared PDP and APC as terrorist organizations instead of political parties? 

Nuhu Ribadu should revise his Kuru training manuals

The function of the National Security Adviser of a country as large and continentally significant as Nigeria is not wearing starched agbada flying with presidential delegations from one state ceremony of mass burials to the other to deliver condolence speeches on behalf of Tinubu's APC administration. It is also not receiving date fruits from Saudi Arabia for Nigeria's Muslims fasting to Allah with one hand and with another hand receiving millions of dollars to acquire deadly weapons for terrorists and bandits to slaughter our peaceful Muslim citizens dutifully worshipping God in their mosques while, ironically, there are no insurgency death records in Saudi Arabia or UAE from where their nationals sponsor terrorism and bloodshed in Nigeria.

Amongst others, the functions of the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, is to obtain, sieve and collate security intelligence in the action jurisdiction of all security arms of the federal government, advise the President on real-time pre-emptive actions and combat strikes that ensure and perpetuate long-term security of lives and livelihood which engender citizen gratitude, not funeral wailings and IDP camp exodus for displaced citizens. If Ribadu has forgotten these functions, he should revise his Kuru training manuals and, if they are outdated as he has become, he should take a refresher course on 21st century counter-insurgency security protocols, crises prevention, containment and management.

As the cliche goes, the principal function of government is the security of lives and properties, and by extension their livelihoods and shelter. If President Tinubu cannot provide the principal function of securing lives and properties of Nigerians, he should sack Nuhu Ribadu, reconfigure his armed services' rank and file and step up his security governance over our citizens or do Nigeria a patriotic favour by sacking himself too.

 

Killings of over 100 people in Zamfara: deaths in our country continue unabated — Peter Obi

H. E Peter Obi has said the deaths in our country continue unabated as the Tinubu led APC government failed to secure lives and properties and fulfilling his oat of office he sworn to.


Obi made the remarks following the gruesome murder of over 100 people in Zamfara by the bandits, including military men, asking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to accept the inevitable truth and act decisively as Nigeria is at war and saving of lives must be prioritized over infrastructures.

The deaths in our country continue unabated, as one reads the heartbreaking stories that have become our daily reality.

With the brutal killings of over 100 people in Zamfara, including our revered military men, Mr. President, it is time to accept the inevitable truth and act…

— Peter Obi (@PeterObi) June 25, 2025

"The deaths in our country continue unabated, as one reads the heartbreaking stories that have become our daily reality." 

"With the brutal killings of over 100 people in Zamfara, including our revered military men, Mr. President, it is time to accept the inevitable truth and act decisively."

 "Nigeria is at war. We can no longer afford the dangerous denial. The number of lives lost in Nigeria now mirrors countries at war, and the death in our own country even happens more often than in countries at war." 

"We cannot continue like this. It is time to prioritise the security of lives over infrastructure projects. Governance must now become about saving lives, not cutting ribbons and headlining ceremonies on front pages." 

"Every child buried, every soldier slain, every Nigerian abducted, is a loud cry that leadership must hear. The true measure of leadership is not in the number of roads built or bridges commissioned, but in how many lives are preserved, how many families sleep in peace, and how many communities thrive without fear of bandits." 

"This is no longer about politics, it is about the survival of Nigerians. The soul of our nation is bleeding, and only true leadership can save our dear country."

GENOCIDE IS NOT COMMUNAL CONFLICT: PRESIDENT TINUBU’S RESPONSE TO BENUE KILLINGS FALLS DANGEROUSLY SHORT

Issued by: Apostle (Dr.) Bolaji O. Akinyemi

Convener, The Apostolic Round Table

The Apostolic Round Table (ART) expresses deep dismay and utter disappointment at the recent statement released by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu via his official X handle, @OfficialABAT, regarding the continued and escalating massacres in Benue State.

While we acknowledge the President’s eventual public attention to what he described as "senseless bloodletting," we reject in the strongest terms the false framing of the crisis as a communal conflict. What is happening in Benue is not a conflict between communities — it is genocide, perpetrated by well-armed terrorists against indigenous peoples, with the complicity of silence and inaction at the highest levels of power.

The President's directive to security agencies to “arrest perpetrators on all sides” is an unfortunate mischaracterization that equates invaders with victims, terrorists with communities defending themselves, and criminals with casualties. Such ambiguity is not only irresponsible but also emboldens those who thrive on impunity and bloodshed.

The continued reference to “dialogue and reconciliation” is tone-deaf and ill-timed. You cannot negotiate with killers while they are still holding the machetes. You cannot ask people to reconcile with those who have turned their homes into graveyards.

Mr. President, as Commander-in-Chief, your duty is not to mediate between life and death. It is to defend life. Your response has not only fallen short of your mandate; it reeks of either deep ignorance of the “underlying issues” or a troubling political mischief that sides with neutrality in the face of evil.

We therefore make the following demands:

1. Immediate military intervention in all affected Benue communities with clear rules of engagement to protect civilians.

2. Public identification and prosecution of known perpetrators and their sponsors.

3. A national security address from the President with a detailed and time-bound roadmap to end the genocidal attacks across Nigeria’s Middle Belt.

4. A halt to further gaslighting and false equivalence in government statements concerning acts of terror.

Benue does not need sympathy. Benue does not need another committee. Benue needs protection — now.

Should this government continue to treat mass murder with press releases instead of action, the Apostolic Round Table will mobilize a nationwide prophetic and civic movement to demand accountability. We will not fold our arms while our people are buried in silence.

History will judge every leader not by the speeches they gave, but by the blood they refused to let spill. Mr. President, it is time to act like the Commander-in-Chief you were elected to be.

Signed,

Apostle (Dr.) Bolaji O. Akinyemi

Spoke's person of Terrorists And Bandits in Nigeria Sheikh Gumi Barred from performing Hajj, deports him back to Nigeria by Saudi Authorities

Authorities in Saudi Arabia have stopped Nigerian Sheikh Gumi from performing Hajj, deports him back to Nigeria

Gumi 

Saudi Arabia has stopped Kaduna-based Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi from performing the 2025 Hajj and deported him back to Nigeria.

Sheikh Gumi confirmed this in a post made on Monday, May 26, 2025, via his Facebook page.

He said the Saudi government had granted him a visa to enter the country for Hajj, but he was not allowed to enter Medina to begin his religious duties.

According to him, “Due to some reasons related to my views on world politics, the authorities in Saudi Arabia do not want me to be present at Hajj even though they have granted me a visa,” Sheikh Gumi said in a post on his Facebook page.

He added, “I am grateful to the authorities in Nigeria who have pledged to engage with the Saudi authorities on this matter.”

 

Sheikh Gumi is part of a delegation of scholars sponsored by the Nigerian Hajj Commission (NAHCON) to travel to Saudi Arabia for religious services.

Gumi arrived in Medina with other clerics last Saturday at around 10:30pm on an Umza Air flight, but upon arrival at the city’s airport, Saudi immigration officials prevented the cleric from entering the country.

Reports revealed that Sheikh Gumi has now returned to Nigeria to continue his daily activities, especially teaching.

It is note worthy to state that the Islamic Scholar has be the mouth piece of the terrorists, Bandits and kidnappers who have caused a lot of havock to the people of Southern Kaduna and beyond.

The APC led Federal government of Nigeria usually give him police security to move around as the spokeman of the bandits. The government through the Nigerian Army rehabilitates terrorists while they abandon their victims. 

There were claims of terrorists been absorbed into the Nigerian Army. Many of the Nigerian youths especially of the southern origins are jettisoning joining the army currently.

No serious country will tolerate terrorists and their sympathizers but under the APC governed Nigeria since 2015 till date, like fiction, the level of insecurities have been aggravated and compounded, lives of the law abiding citizens have become miserable and short due to reasons of insecurities.

In a bombshell revelation that has ignited nationwide outrage and intensified the leadership crisis rocking the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Comrade Atiku Abubakar Isah, the embattled President of the association, has accused Seyi Tinubu—the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu—of orchestrating his abduction, torture, and forced resignation following his refusal of a N100 million bribe.

In a viral video confession released on social media, Isah narrated how he was abducted on April 15, 2025, shortly after filing a formal complaint at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja regarding threats to his life.

 He claimed the abduction was politically motivated and part of a broader plot to remove him from office by force.

“They offered me N100 million to resign as NANS President. I rejected it because I was elected by students, not politicians. That’s when they came for me,” Isah declared in the video.

According to him, he was blindfolded, stripped naked, physically assaulted, and taken to an undisclosed location where he was coerced into recording a scripted resignation speech. The video was later broadcast on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), which Isah says was part of a state-backed propaganda effort.

“They forced me to read a resignation script and aired it on NTA to make it look legitimate. It was psychological and physical torture,” he stated, visibly emotional in the footage.

Isah alleged that Seyi Tinubu perceived his student leadership as a political threat, especially after the 125th NANS Convention in Abuja, where Tinubu reportedly expressed disdain for his emergence as president.

“Seyi Tinubu is a bad influence on Nigerian youths. He has no respect for democratic processes or student voices. He’s using the state machinery to silence opposition,” Isah claimed.

His legal counsel, Barr. A.O. Ochogwu, has since petitioned the Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Services (DSS), demanding an investigation. The petition lists Seyi Tinubu, Olusola Ladoja (a rival factional leader), and unnamed NTA officials as accomplices in the abduction and abuse.

In swift reaction, a support group known as Friends of Seyi Tinubu (FOST) dismissed the allegations as a “desperate smear campaign.” In a press release, the group described Isah as a “self-acclaimed president” and denied any political or criminal involvement by Seyi Tinubu.

“These allegations are baseless and politically motivated. They are designed to tarnish the image of a private citizen who has no role in student unionism,” the group stated.

Meanwhile, students from various tertiary institutions have taken to the streets in protest, demanding accountability. Demonstrators are calling on the National Assembly to investigate the abuse of power and alleged misuse of the state-owned broadcaster, NTA, for political manipulation.

A student leader from the University of Abuja said, “If student leaders can be kidnapped, tortured, and coerced into resignation for refusing bribes, then our democracy is under attack. We demand justice for Comrade Isah.”

As of the time of this report, neither the Nigerian Police Force, the Presidency, nor the Nigerian Television Authority has issued an official statement in response to the grave allegations.

The incident has amplified existing concerns about political interference in student affairs and the vulnerability of youth leaders in Nigeria’s democratic space.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE BY GEN. T Y DANJUMA

 General T. Y. Danjuma's speech recently about Nigeria's Insecurity Situation in April, 2025. It is titled 'TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE'. It is worth reading for posterity. 

Gen TY Danjuma only said it in a nutshell. You may read the real story behind his outburst.  

 *TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE* 

I want to begin with History. Most people have heard the phrase : - "Too little, too late,"- but very few know the origin of that phrase and what it was actually created to serve.

  In the 1930's - 40's the world moved on precariously and dangerously, tethering and staggering on the path of self-destruction. The wicked were on the march and full of courage and conviction while the righteous majority were racked with indecision, fear, selfishness and utter indifference. The forces of tyranny were on the wings making dramatic gains while there was no courage or political will on the other side to challenge them.

  Just as it is now in our nation.

Nazism was already establishing its tentacles in Germany with Hitler surrounded by the adoration of a nation of culture that has lost its way. Fascism was taking hold and consolidating itself in Italy with Mussolini daring anyone to cross his path. In Asia the Japanese, the Red Dragon, was building a formidable arsenal and stronghold, a military - industrial complex to form the tripod of evil.

  Against all these formidable forces the Free World had nothing except Appeasement from Britain, Indecision from America and a Soviet Union shackled by an ideology that is good on paper but never worked on ground, struggling with a large restless population it was unable to feed. 

Thus against Germany's Nazism, Italian Fascism and Japanese Militarism which constituted the Axial Powers, the Free World had no answer or nothing to meet them.

  There was little courage and even much more little leadership in the Free World to confront the rampaging hordes of wickedness threatening to enslave the world.

 It was in this very season that the phrase "Too Little, Too Late' was coined to show the lack of leadership and courage in the Free World. That phrase represents "the poverty of courage and creative leadership", of combat men and materials to face the rampaging hordes of naked outright fascistic terrorism assaulting the world. Just as it now is in our dear nation.

  No leadership. No courage. No conviction. Except among the fascists.

In 1938 it was Czechoslovakia and Austria where Hitler marched and swallowed in the face of British Appeasement.

In 1939 it was the turn of Poland. Hitler took over Poland with spoken words, without firing a shot. He was an orator.

In 1940 it was the turn of France, Belgium and Holland.

  And finally on Sunday morning December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, America got the message. In the following Spring 1942 in the Philippines Japanese Militarism came with full force and wiped out an entire torpedo fleet causing the fall of Beaten and Conequidor and forcing Gen. MacArthur to retreat to Australia - all the men of the tiny fleet wiped out.

  America got the message. Indecision is a decision. Refusing to fight and confront the enemy and a threat is itself a decision to submit to his tyranny.

Britain at last got the message: You don't appease the devil or a monster; you confront him.

   From 1938-41 there was too little courage and leadership in the world to face the threat. By the time the Free world would now come together to confront the enemy it was too late. 60 million souls had to perish to stop the tripod of evil led by Adolf Hitler. But if the threat had been confronted in 1938 more lives wouldn't have been wasted. Military experts estimated that at the most, 30,000 lives might have been lost to stop Hitler in 1938; but it was not done. So the war that Chamberlain feared eventually came and now 60 million lives had to perish.

  Too little, too late.

  These were the lessons of the World War but do we really learn? History is not only a faithful record of the past, it is also a prophecy of what is coming.

Today I see the same thing, the same processes at work in our nation. The same forces, the same strategies and shenanigans. And just like in the Free World of the 1930's there is no leadership, courage and conviction. While the forces of enslavers, tyranny are growing in their actions and bravery the forces of freedom are in disarray and unsure of even what action to take.

Last year the NBS gave us to know that banditry and kidnapping are the most lucrative trades in Nigeria before the report was pulled down by hackers. The wise will understand.

At least we all can now see that insecurity has worsened. Farmers are now in danger and their farms in more danger.

Few weeks ago the Afenifere Youth leader was captured on his way to Abuja around Akoko, one of the most dangerous spots and staging post of bandits and kidnappers. He wasn't released until his wife paid N17 million naira. 

   Few days ago the same bandits or herdsmen went to a community farm in Ondo State and killed 20 persons. The video was shown to all.

The latest video that touched me was that of herdsmen harvesting cassava in a Southeastern region to feed to their cows.

That is where we now are. Soon they will come to the cities and towns and to your houses to feed your foodstuffs to their cows and do what they like with your children and wives.

Just wait.

A monster is not stopped by persuasion, pleading or reason. Or even the appeal to Law. He is stopped only by what he believes in : Force.

When Hitler went to Czechoslovakia and Austria no one stopped him. The consequence: he proceeded to Poland, then to France... Belgium.

Before, the bandits were in the forest but now they operate from the highways. Now it is the farms and villages. Soon it will be your houses and right inside your towns.

In 2018 I warned the Yorubas about these and what to do. In 2020 I warned the entire Southerners ( and especially Yorubas) what steps they should take urgently. ( See *Something Has Happened to the Yoruba, 7 Dangerous Delusions Among Southerners* )

If they have heeded the lessons then it wouldn't have escalated to this level. 

  Then there was little courage and leadership in Yoruba land. The politicians would not say anything not to jeopardise their chances.

Bola Tinubu would not say anything because his eyes were on 2023 just as he won't say anything now because he is also focused on 2027. Human lives were expendables in 1941 when Macarthur retreated allowing a fleet to be wiped out; they are too now as the rulers keep silent in the face of tyranny.

I saw the report sent out by the Afenifere Youth leader asking for action now. He said the land has been encircled. So it is just now you are discovering that?

Poor you. Why didn't you join me to magnify the call in 2018, 2019 to 2023? It is late now.

It is now you know that your forests are surrounded? It is now you know that you are encircled? Because it happened to you? 

  This is the first phase. They need to impoverish your people first by collecting their money through kidnapping to fund their jihadist army. They need to destroy your harvest to create famine so you won't be able to fight when the D- Day comes. They need to instill fear into you to even step out of your house. Before they move to the last and final phase: attack or genocide. It happened in Turkey to the Armenians while the world was busy with the First World War and no one was watching. It could happen again.

  These are the ways of the tyrants and they are on course. All these were clear to me as far back as 2018. I knew this won't go away. I knew it would get worse.

 Now time has been lost. Now unity of purpose is lacking.

Where is the leadership today in Yorubaland? Where is courage and proactive thinking in the nation? Indecision, self-seeking, personal glory, love of pleasure... indifference.

The Oyo House of Representatives member, Mrs Sadipe declared the other day that in her constituency farmers could no longer go to farms because herdsmen have wrecked havocs everywhere. Didn't Yorubas hear her? Has there been any plan of action both then and now?

That is the modern Yoruba: no balls, no action, empty and loud- mouthed, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.

  They are waiting for their traditional rulers.

The traditional rulers are waiting for the governors.

Governors are waiting for Tinubu.

 Tinubu is waiting for 2027...

Some are waiting for Yoruba nation to defend themselves against attacks in their own land.

Soon you will end up where you are headed.

Few days ago the forces of tyranny made another gain, dramatic gain on our watch. The "Supreme Court of judicial bandits"  in a judgement decided that a farmer Sunday Jackson who in an act of self-defense killed a Fulani assailant must die for - of all things - murder. Our judges said he should have fled rather than killing a Fulani man. They expected a man who eas wounded and stabbed on his leg to flee. This judgement would have been funny if it were not so pathetic.

  In John Bunyan's allegorical work, the masterpiece of all time, "Pilgrims Progress" we see how Christian and his companion were accosted when they got to Vanity Fair in the City of Vanity where they were arrested and brought before the judge of the Land whose name is Lord Hate-Good who sentenced them and confiscated their properties.

  Democracy is now Vanity Fair and Nigeria is now the City of Vanity.

  Lord Hate- Good is no more on the pages of imaginative Literature she now sit atop a Judas-iary backed by activist judges who make their own laws rather than interpret them. Judas loved his own nation more than his master and chose to betray the latter for the former; the judases in our Supreme Cult preferred to obey their puppet masters and let a nation go to blazes. They have therefore out- judas even Judas.

  You now understand and can now make meaning all the curious judgments that has been coming from that Cult. Why number 4 had to be elevated to become number 1; why a candidate who did not contest an election had to be rewarded with a ticket to represent his party and why it is punishable, contrary to the Law of God and Nature, for a man to defend himself on his own land and within his own space. You now understand why all enemies and perceived enemies of the Fascist Regime has been receiving unfavorable judgments from Lord Hate-Good's Court. The latest are Peter Odili and Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. You will see worse things in the coming days.

Fascism is now on the march in our nation. Not just fascism but Islamofascism. The only organised forces and mobilized forces that I see today in Nigeria; the only coherent and raging power and the greatest threat to freedom today are the forces of fascism and Islamofascism in all their disguises, mutations and progression.

  They have taken over the Judas-iary. They control the Legislature - a body full of nihilists, moral anarchists, scavengers, drug addicts, sex- slaves, fraudsters with a sprinkling of few principled men too few to make any change.

 Need I talk of the Executhieves, the source and ocean of all pollution, defilement and unutterable vileness of the fountain of a nation? It took Nigerians 8 years to know that Buhari is not a democrat, how long will it take for Nigerians to discover that our man is more of a monarchist than a democrat?

  Fascism is on course. All the arms of government are now taken. They owned and control the press - the corrupt and compromised press. They largely control the civil society and its "hacktivists" - that are all over the place but no where on ground. And they owned and control the religious elements of major religions.

This is the very kind of climate conducive for control and domination; and to the fascistic takeover of a nation and any society.

Democracy is dead. First it was in Lagos where security was withdrawn from an elected speaker to a deposed speaker and a legislative decision overturned by the whims of one man sitting in Abuja.

  Now it is the turn of Rivers State where an elected governor, legislators, and all symbols of democracy, warts and all, have been disabled and a malleable legislature worse than even a footmat has rubber-stamped it by voice vote. And Madam Hate- Good's Judas-iary will equally affirm the illegality if the courts are approached.

Fascism is on course. Osun State could be the next. And nothing will happen. 

  

  In the 1930's - 40's there was the tripod of Tyranny struggling to enslave the world. In 2025 Nigeria there is the tripod of evil working to ensnare freedom and compromise Nigerian Secularity. There is the Fascistic Authoritarianism of APC Government, the Sharia ideology of Fulani Oligarchy presently on course in some Northern states and thirdly, there are the Rogue Elements ( similar to Hitler's Green Berets and Skinheads) consisting of Fulani bandits, herdsmen, terrorists, thugs, agberos etc., which the APC has never really fought and always treated with soft spots and respect. One ideology unites all of them at the top - Islamofascism. And they are working for the same goal at the end.

The Nazis started with burning books but later they burnt bodies and humans.

The Islamofascists of our nation started with breaking beer bottles and shutting hotels. Now they are shutting schools. Tomorrow they will shut churches and recreational centers and could arrest you one day if your beards are not long enough.

In 2018 I predicted this using the exact words. Has it not happened to us now?

In the 1930-40 there was a Roosevelt, a Churchill and a Stalin who finally rose up to challenge the rampaging forces of Fascism. In our nation today we have no Stalin, no Churchill, no Roosevelt, no Generals Patton or MacArthur. 

NANS is lost to reactionary forces.

NBA is a toothless bulldog.

NUJ is sick and nigh to death.

NLC has lost its ideological bearing.

ASUU - radical ASUU is wounded in the field of battle and now war- weary and nurturing its wounds.

NMA and NSE ( doctors and engineers) rarely dabble into politics preferring to face their private matters.

The Opposition is in disarray assuming there is anything that could be called by that name. PDP is not different from APC. LP is still in the womb of formation.

The religious bodies are weak. CAN is morally weak. PFN has no ideology that can power a national liberation or frighten a demagogue. It was Martin Luther who said, "He is a man who can speak forcefully to men." Such was Luther himself. Such was John Wesley, George Fox, William Wilberforce, John Calvin, Garrick Braide, William Harris, Joseph Babalola.... Alas, Nigerian Christianity has not a single man in the mold of such men listed above at this hour. I can't find a single one on the horizon.

  The only weapon and only thing left for Nigerians now is the Social Media which is also under assault of regulation and monitoring by the fascists in the Legislature

This is how an empire is lost; this is how civilization disappears from the radar. All the 26 civilizations studied by Professor Arnold Toynbee this was how they disappeared. They lost their spiritual initiative their zest, moral quality and creative element within their culture. 

  General Obasanjo said the other day that the traditional rulers have been taken over by drug addicts, fraudsters, sex- slaves.. The last pillar of culture and Cultural Renewal is lost. That is how nations die.

This is how a nation goes into slavery. This is how freedom is lost. It is not just because of the actions of the wicked but also because of the inactions, cowardice, lack of leadership and courage of the righteous majority. It is easy to lose freedom; it is not difficult to enslave liberty. Hitler disabled democracy within one month and few days in one of the most cultured nations on Earth. It is easy to lose liberty.

Now the forces of Fascism are united and have bared their fangs. They are marching on and what or who will stop them? What do we have to stop them?

Where is the courage? Where is the leadership? Have you heard even the Nigerian Governor's Forum to say anything against an illegality perpetrated against one of their own?

In 1938 courage was too little, by 1945 it was too late.

In 2015, 2023 Nigeria it was too little. Will it be too late too for us?

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.

Senator Natasha H Akpoti-Uduaghan representing Kogi Central in the Nigeria's upper legislative chamber Senate has called the killings in Plateau State a genocide, masked as an ethic or religious attack.

Natasha in a social media post said the killings in the state is a genocide, like many others, masked as an ethic or religious attack but likely sponsored by capitalists’ hungry for mineral extraction and resource control.

She however said to stop this menace, Government must deploy a multi-pronged approach to address the economic, legal , security and social factors. 

"Our hearts go out to Plateau state as we commiserate with the victims, families and Gov. Mutfwang." She wrote.

An unpopular opinion on the Plateau killings: it’s a genocide, like many others, masked as an ethic or religious attack but likely sponsored by capitalists’ hungry for mineral extraction and resource control.

Thus, the killings stand condemned and we urge that those culpable should be brought to justice. 

However, to stop this menace, Government must deploy a multi-pronged approach to address the economic, legal , security and social factors.
