Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State has raised an alarm on the precarious security situation in the country, warning that Nigeria may become another Somalia if immediate action is not taken to end the long-standing violence claiming lives in the country.
The Governor gave the warning on Saturday while discussing with the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, in Jos.
It would be recalled that over 100 people were massacred by some yet to be identified gunmen on Christmas Eve in Bokkos and Barkin Ladi local government areas.
“It is unfortunate that this cycle has continued for years. We are praying that, as a nation, we will get it right so that we toe the path of justice and don’t allow people to slip into self-help because once we allow the people to go into self-help, we will become another Somalia”, the Governor said.
“There is an economy that has been built around this insecurity. We need to know who the financiers are and who paid for the hundreds of AK-47 rifles. Where did they get them from?”, the Governor added.
On President Tinubu, he said:
“What we need is a mass of critical leaders to rally round him to be able to expand his scope so that he understands the root and immediate causes of these problems and to proffer solutions.”
