Urgent Call: Boko Haram’s Surge Demands a State of Emergency

Boko Haram has struck six military bases in just two months, killing over 50 Nigerian soldiers, including a brigadier general and several lieutenants. This toll is reportedly ten times higher than the losses suffered by US and Israeli forces in the recent Iran conflict. The terrorists rely on asymmetric warfare, launching ambushes without warning and evading conventional military tactics. Their ability to hit high-value targets underscores the growing threat to national security. If the government does not declare a state of emergency, these attacks will likely escalate. A formal emergency powers framework could enable more decisive action to protect troops and civilians.
