Ejiofor Faults Government’s Handling of Killings, Kidnappings and Rural Attacks

Human rights lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor has criticised the Federal Government’s response to recurring killings, kidnappings and attacks on rural communities. He argued that describing some incidents as farmers-herders clashes without clear evidence of a reciprocal conflict could downplay organised violence. He called for transparent investigations into attacks in the FCT, Benue and Plateau states, as well as kidnapping networks linked to the abduction of NYSC members in Imo State. He urged security agencies to trace the groups’ bases, weapons, funding and collaborators. Ejiofor said Nigeria needs a coordinated, intelligence-driven security strategy to dismantle armed criminal networks and protect citizens regardless of religion, ethnicity or location.
