A host of eminent Nigerians have decried the dangerous trend the wave of insecurity has taken in Nigeria and urged decisive actions to halt the trend.
Reacting to Vanguard’s exclusive report, last Monday, which showed that from reported cases no fewer than 1,525 people were lost to insecurity in the first two weeks of 2021, the eminent Nigerians lamented that the figure is humongous.
The figure shows that every day Nigeria loses 34 persons to insecurity and if the trend remained the country may lose 12,370 persons by the end of 2021.
Indeed, the country has lost no fewer than 358 persons between February 15 and February 24, Sunday Vanguard’s tally of reported cases showed.
