Nigeria has endured a wave of violence in recent weeks—from a suicide bombing in Konduga (Borno State) that killed at least 10 to brutal attacks in Benue and Niger States killing hundreds of civilians and soldiers. These devastating events highlight deep-rooted insecurity driven by insurgents, banditry, and farmer-herder conflicts.
President Tinubu has ordered security crackdowns—but critics warn these are reactive. What’s needed is a long-term, intelligence-driven strategy, community policing, and investment in local economies to address root causes. Nigeria must rethink its approach to security to protect its citizens and stabilize regions under siege.
