Bleeding Grounds drew national focus again after Labour Party’s Peter Obi condemned the rising wave of violence across Nigeria. According to Naija News, Obi cited deadly attacks in Kano, Plateau, Kebbi, Borno, and Katsina, all within a single day, as tragic signs of national failure and institutional silence.
- A bomb explosion in Kano killed at least five people; many others were injured.
- Twelve wedding guests were killed by gunmen in Plateau, 11 were injured.
- Kebbi, Borno, and Katsina also recorded mass deaths from bandit and suicide attacks.
- Obi accused the government of silence and hypocrisy, saying, “The truth is not demarketing.”
Bleeding Grounds symbolise more than violence—they mark a nation becoming numb to loss. Nigeria’s soil, meant to grow dreams, is instead soaked in grief. Each unaccounted death chips away at the meaning of citizenship.
