Ogbomosho School Attack: Are Terrorists Turning Our Schools into Battlefields?
As many Nigerians focus on elections and football, rural communities face a brutal reality. In Ogbomosho, gunmen struck primary and secondary schools, killing a principal, teachers, and pupils. Some victims remain missing or held hostage. Evidence suggests terrorists from the Sahel are infiltrating our forests. They map our terrain and exploit our culture of hospitality to establish sleeper cells. Roads and farmlands have become unsafe. Church services now proceed under armed watch. Schools risk becoming the latest targets in this wave of violence. I urge lawmakers to empower local security forces. Groups like OPC, Amotekun, and VGN must work together, sharing intelligence and adopting modern surveillance. With proper funding and equipment, a Joint Security Taskforce can help protect our people.
