Paul Ibe, media adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has criticised the Federal Government\u2019s handling of insecurity, questioning the deployment of security personnel in relation to Omoyele Sowore while communities continue to face attacks from bandits and terrorists.<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on his social media page, Ibe lamented the killing of at least 18 residents in Kawel village, Mushere district of Bokkos LGA of Plateau state.<\/p>\n
He said several other residents sustained injuries during the late-night attack. According to Ibe, there has been little official response to the incident since it occurred.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollowing Sunday, no less than 18 innocent citizens were killed and several others injured following a late-night attack on Kawel village in Mushere District of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since, mum has been the word. No arrests. No response. No empathy. They\u2019ve carried on as if human lives have no value in our land,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Ibe contrasted the government\u2019s response to the attack with the deployment of security personnel in connection with Sowore.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd today, they\u2019re deploying security forces because their favourite customer, Omoyele Sowore must be confined to Kuje Prison for daring to speak truth to power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ibe questioned why security resources were not being directed towards areas affected by terrorism and banditry.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe major in minors while insecurity rules the land. Why can\u2019t these security forces be deployed to vulnerable parts of the country where citizens are at the mercy of terrorists and bandits instead of using security personnel meant to protect Nigerians to intimidate them?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
