In recent months, there has been a disturbing increase in the number of attacks against security personnel in Nigeria. These attacks have come from a variety of sources, including armed bandits, terrorists, and even ordinary citizens.
In one recent incident, gunmen killed a police inspector while he was escorting a school principal in Port Harcourt. In another incident, suspected smugglers shot dead two Nigerian customs officers in Kebbi State. And in yet another incident, the Nigerian military buried 22 officers who were killed by terrorists in Niger State.
These attacks are a serious threat to the security of Nigeria and its citizens. They also undermine the authority of the government and its ability to maintain law and order.
There are a number of reasons why these attacks are happening. One reason is the growing insecurity in Nigeria.
The country is facing a number of challenges, including terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping. This has created a climate of fear and uncertainty, which makes people more likely to resort to violence.
Another reason for the attacks is the impunity enjoyed by criminals. Many of the perpetrators of these attacks are never brought to justice. This emboldens them to commit more crimes, and it makes it more difficult to deter future attacks.
The government needs to take urgent steps to address the increasing retaliation against uniform men in Nigeria. This includes strengthening the security forces, bringing the perpetrators of these attacks to justice, and addressing the root causes of insecurity in the country.
The government also needs to work to restore the public's trust in the security forces. This can be done by ensuring that the security forces are professional and accountable, and that they treat all citizens with respect.
The increasing retaliation against uniformed men is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. The government and the public must work together to find a solution to this problem and that they treat all citizens with respect.
