Apex pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has accused the Federal Government of pampering bandits and terrorists in the country, following Saturday’s invasion of the Kaduna Airport by armed bandits, IgbereTV reports
The group said it was an indication of how bad the level the nation’s security situation had deteriorated.
The terrorists who were said to be about 200 in number, had reportedly taken over the airport in the early hours of Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring many as they stopped any flight from taking off.
The Afenifere, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, on Sunday, lamented the situation and described what happened on a day the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was having its national convention in Abuja, as a “warning that some people seem to be bent on re-enacting the Afghanistan situation in Nigeria.”
“It is a matter of serious concern that these security infractions happened at a time that government kept assuring us that it is on top of the situation,” the group said
