The Digest:

Senator Aminu Tambuwal has urged the Federal Government to broaden its collaborative security operations against terrorists beyond Sokoto State, advocating for a nationwide approach.

Key Points:
  • The Sokoto South Senator emphasized the need for expansive, not concentrated, security collaboration.
  • He stated that terrorism is not restricted to one state and requires equal attention nationwide.
  • Tambuwal specifically cited Borno, Zamfara, Katsina, and Kaduna as critical areas for inclusion.
  • He warned against neglecting less-reported regions with significant security challenges.
  • The lawmaker called for greater international collaboration with the US and other willing nations.
  • His comments follow confirmed US-Nigeria joint airstrikes on ISIS targets in Sokoto.
  • The operations were conducted at Nigeria's request, according to US Africa Command.
The appeal highlights a strategic push for a coordinated, multi-state offensive to address the diffuse nature of terrorist threats. Security, like water, must flow to every corner to be effective.
