Defence Minister: Only God and Our Prayers Can End Nigeria’s Insecurity

Minister of State for Defence Bello Muhammad Matawalle says only God can finally end the country’s security challenges. He spoke in a BBC Hausa interview after recent attacks in Oyo and Borno that left dozens of students and teachers abducted. Matawalle urged citizens to support security agencies and pray for peace. He also warned politicians against spreading recycled videos to undermine the current administration for political gain. He assured that troops are working tirelessly nationwide but cautioned that insecurity cannot be resolved overnight. He asked Nigerians to remain patient and back every effort to restore safety. I believe this statement exposes a troubling lack of accountability. If only divine intervention can solve the crisis, our leaders should reconsider their roles.
