The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has raised alarm over the security situation in the country.
Sanusi, who was the Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), said the activities of Boko Haram in the North-East, as well as those of militants in the Niger Delta, posed a serious threat to national security.
According to the Kano monarch, “In the ranking of failed states, security is number one.”
“The country is facing too many threats. In the North-East, we have had for years a rampaging horde, who in the name of religion, kill innocent people, kidnap children, rape young girls, bomb mosques.
And the irony is missing: you are a Muslim, Muslims go to the mosque, people are praying and saying ‘Allah Akbaru’, and you are killing them and saying ‘Allah Akbaru’. “In the Niger Delta, you have people who are fighting for resource control; they want the money from oil, and how do they get the money? They blow up the pipelines.
“There is a lack of understanding and lack of focus, and lack of sense to the violence,” Sanusi said. In his remarks, the IGP noted that since his inauguration as governor, Bello has “recorded a lot of progress in addressing security challenges in Kogi State.”
He made this position in Abuja, at the conferment of award on the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello as most security conscious Governor by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
