Nasarawa State Faces Escalating Insecurity, PDP Faction Expresses Concern
The tranquility of Nasarawa State, long cherished by its inhabitants, has been increasingly marred by a relentless surge in criminal activities, painting a grim picture of the region. A faction within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), known as the Karu PDP Concerned Members and led by Shuaibu Danladi, has voiced major concerns over this escalating insecurity, asserting that the state has evolved into a sanctuary for outlaws.
The State of Insecurity
The group’s concerns are rooted in the dramatic increase in acts of crime such as kidnapping, killing, and robbery that have become all too frequent in the state. The government’s inability to effectively address these security challenges has resulted in a state of constant fear and apprehension among the citizens, disrupting the peace and hampering the business environment.
The Human Cost
The escalation of insecurity in Nasarawa State has also catalyzed a heartbreaking consequence – a surge in the number of children without parents. The PDP faction underscores the tragic reality that the state’s security crisis is not just a matter of law and order, but a devastating human tragedy that is altering the lives of the state’s most vulnerable residents.
Questioning Government Competence
Through their public statement, the Karu PDP Concerned Members sharply criticize the state government’s management of the security situation. They question the government’s competence and capability to quell the crisis, emphasizing the critical role of the government in safeguarding the lives and properties of its citizens. The group stresses that the government’s ineptitude in handling the security challenges has left the state’s residents living under a cloud of fear, and has severely disrupted the peace and business environment.
In the wake of these concerns, the faction urges the state’s leadership to rise to the occasion, asserting that a state’s prosperity relies heavily on the security and safety of its people. The group concludes by emphasizing the need for an urgent and effective response to the escalating insecurity, a factor that is fast turning Nasarawa State from a peaceful haven into a hotbed of crime.
