LATEST: Afenifere Reacts Over Kaduna Airport Attack By Bandits

Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, has denounced the bandit terrorist attack on Kaduna International Airport on Saturday.

The attack on the airport, according to Afenifere’s spokesman, Jare Ajayi, illustrates that the country’s security situation has dramatically deteriorated.

The attack on the federal government institution, according to the organization, is an indicator that some people want Nigeria to become like war-torn Afghanistan.

It will be remembered that Nigerian military personnel clashed with bandit terrorists on Saturday, forcing the closure of Kaduna International Airport.

The airport was invaded by gunmen, causing the services to be disrupted.

The incident had caused the death of a staff member whom the Kaduna State government revealed to have been shot by the assailants.

According to Afenifere, the invasion of the Kaduna airport by the terrorists shows that there is hardly anywhere that is safe in the country.

The statement reads: “It is a matter of serious concern that these security infractions happened at a time that the government kept assuring us that it was on top of the situation.

“Some of these attacks by terrorists even occurred in broad daylight, that of Kaduna airport and that of Enugu for instance.

“With terrorists having the audacity to attack a national airport despite all the available security apparatus, it means that hardly is anywhere safe any longer in the country.

“The Federal Government should immediately allow states to set up their police forces, empower the existing security agencies and stop treating terrorists with kid gloves. These must be done immediately so that Nigeria does not go the Afghanistan way.”
