Terrorists May Over-run Nigeria, Senate President David Mark Warns

Senate President David Mark warned, Sunday, that unless everybody comes together to tackle the security challenge, the perpetrators might over run the country. The Senate President who expressed grave concern over the continued killings and wanton destruction of property in the country argued that foreigners who might be accused of being sponsors of members Boko Haram sect currently terrorising some parts of the country would not succeed if Nigerians were not involved internally as willing tools for the deadly act. ‘’There could be foreign collaborators but the foreigners would not succeed if there are no willing tools internally,” he said, In a statement, yesterday, by his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, Mark also raised alarm that no one was safe any longer in the country, just as he stressed that the continued loss of lives and property could not be a way of life, adding: “The situation has degenerated to an intolerable level and exposes everybody to danger.” He condemned in strong terms the attack and killing of policemen and other security operatives in Nasarawa State by some cultists and submitted that “nobody, no nation, no matter how weak, would live to accept such heinous crime.” The statement read: “An angry Senator Mark wondered what is happening to us as a people is strange and condemnable. How did we degenerate to this level where everyone became a brothers’ hater instead of being our brothers’ keeper? The situation calls for soul searching. We must re-examine ourselves. We must look inwards.”
