As
the saying goes, “nobody wants to die”! Now that a security stronghold
in the very capital of the country has been successfully attacked, the
country’s lawmakers not only believe that the security situation of the
country has reached an embarrassing state, they, in fact, fear that the
National Assembly might indeed be the next target of terrorists.

The lawmakers have declared the premises of the National Assembly as
“unsafe”. The lawmakers in a heated debate of urgent national importance
said insecurity had reached a level where no security facility was safe
again. Hon Abubakar Momoh who led the debate said the Tuesday robbery
in Auchi, Edo State which claimed the lives of three soldiers, some
policemen and civilians, clearly showed that insecurity in the country
was getting out of hand.
Also, Hon Raphael Nnanna said the successful operation by gunmen who
invaded the headquarters of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Abuja
has shown that the security personnel lacked the capacity to stem the
tide of insecurity in the country. He reminded us that the invasion of
SARS took place less than 24 hours after a Church at Command and Staff
College, Jaji, Kaduna State was bombed by gunmen. Seventeen people were
reportedly killed and several others injured in that church bombing that
took place right in the middle of another military installation.
Hon Nnanna said: “The state of insecurity in the country has reached
an embarrassing level. What happened in Jaji and SARS headquarters is
embarrassing to the leadership and people of this nation… I see these
people coming to the National Assembly very soon”, he added.
