Communities across the country continue to suffer under relentless insecurity, with violent attacks, kidnappings, and killings becoming disturbingly frequent.
From villages raided overnight to major roads turned into danger zones, citizens say they now live in constant fear as criminal activities spread unchecked.
Families are being displaced, farmers can no longer access their land, and businesses struggle to survive in increasingly unsafe environments.
Many citizens express deep frustration, arguing that those responsible for ensuring safety appear detached from the harsh realities on the ground.
Security analysts warn that the situation has escalated due to weak intelligence response, poor coordination among security forces, and a lack of decisive action against criminal networks.
Criminals, they say, have grown more confident, striking freely and escaping without consequence.
Experts emphasize urgent solutions, including modern surveillance systems, community-driven security support, better-trained and equipped security personnel, and economic opportunities to reduce the lure of criminal activity.
They caution that without firm and strategic intervention, insecurity will continue eroding public trust and weakening social and economic stability.
As fear spreads and lives continue to be lost, many citizens are demanding results, not promises. For a nation once known for resilience, the question now echoes across communities: how long can this crisis continue before hope fades completely and the damage becomes irreversible?
