The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in northern Nigeria, citing the worsening insecurity that has left communities under siege.

The forum condemned the killing of over 20 soldiers in Bangi, Mariga Local Government Area of Niger State, describing it as a clear sign of total security collapse in the region.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Prof Abubakar Jiddere, NEF expressed deep pain over the ambush, warning that the scale and boldness of the attacks show terrorists have effectively declared war on Nigeria.

The president does not have to even wait for such before taking action. The state of our security all over the country is notting to write home about.
