The National Coordinator of National Prayer Network, Amb. John Pofi has call for the arrest and investigation of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi and others saying his mediatory role with the bandits is questionable and frightening.

He said there is no doubt that Nigeria is at a cross road and many things have fallen apart.

He made the following posers; Our president is no where to be seen or felt. Is he there? Why is his tongue tied? Can’t his handlers tell him to wake up to the challenges or resign?

Oh, Nigeria my country, how can
” bandits” take over the whole section of a country and NOTHING seems to be done? And we keep deceiving ourselves that we have a government?

Amb. Pofi said he is being passionate about this because human lives are involved, property worth billions are involved, peace of the nation is being threatened and those who are supposed to act are indifferent.

He posited that the involvement of Sheikh Abubakar Gumi as a self imposed mediator in the security crisis is frightening, well, Gumi may not be totally wrong by claiming to mediate, it is the total collapse of the security architecture that has given him the impetus to wade in and “contribute” his quota.

He went further to say what is shocking, about Gumi’s involvement is his utterances in recent days.

“Gumi and his cohorts have polarised the Nigerian military into Christian soldiers and Muslim soldiers. This is a deadly precedence, it is unheard of and a threat to national security. If this is allowed to continue, the damage that Gumi will cause will be worst than what we are witnessing now.”

Why is it that Gumi sees the “bandits” any time he wants to, while our security forces can’t see them? Whose work is Gumi doing? he queried.

He said this can only happen in Nigeria. Why are we in this sorry state? Where is the missing link? Do we really have government?
Instead of questioning Gumi’s credibility in the eyes of the”bandits” we are clapping for him.

“People like Gumi should be arrested and investigated if truly we want to end this war”

He maintained that another sad scenario is what is playing out between the governors of Bauchi and Benue states.
It could be recalled that governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state came out in defense of Fulani herdsmen to carry AK47 guns for self defense.

He opined that Governors are no longer national citizens but tribal bigots and we keep preaching one Nigeria.

“Oh, what a country? I doff my hat for the late iconic writer, legend of all times and a fearless writer, Prof. Chinua Achebe for his prophetic book, THERE WAS A COUNTRY”

“The title of this book summarizes the sorry story of this once vibrant and prosperous nation” he concluded.

Troops Rescue Six Abducted Travellers in Plateau, Search Ongoing for Missing Driver

Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) rescued six travellers abducted by suspected kidnappers along the Hawan Kibo–Rafin Sanyin Road in Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State.

The rescue operation followed a swift response by troops of Sector 6 Operation Enduring Peace after receiving a distress call in the early hours of Friday.

According to the Media Information Officer of Operation Safe Haven, Captain Polycarp Oteh, troops immediately mobilised to the area and successfully rescued six of the abducted victims, while efforts continue to locate the remaining victim, identified as the driver of the vehicle.

“At the early hours of today, troops of Sector 6 Operation Enduring Peace responded to a distress call on a kidnapping incident and swiftly mobilised, successfully rescuing six out of the kidnapped victims,” Oteh said.

“Deliberate effort is currently ongoing to rescue the driver. There is no cause for alarm. Troops are on top of the situation.”

The incident occurred when suspected kidnappers reportedly intercepted a vehicle conveying passengers from Lafia, Nasarawa State, to Jos, Plateau State.

On arrival at the scene, troops discovered an ash-coloured Honda vehicle abandoned by the roadside with its occupants missing.

A search-and-rescue operation was immediately launched in the surrounding bushes, leading to the successful rescue of six victims identified as Ibrahim Usman, Ali Ibrahim, Sabiu Idris, Private Ibrahim Musa, Hamisu Abubakar and Joshua Johanna.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the victims were travelling from Lafia to Jos when their vehicle was intercepted by the kidnappers along the route.

Security sources said intensive search operations are continuing in the area to locate the missing driver and prevent further criminal activities along the highway.

Operation Safe Haven said troops remain on high alert, with routine patrols ongoing across the Joint Operations Area to protect communities and critical infrastructure from security threats.
