The UK Parliament has said that Nigerians under President
Muhammadu Buhari administration are at the mercy of non-state actors who
unleash attacks on individuals and communities at will.
Members of the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the
parliament; Caroline Cox, Rowan Williams, David Alton, Mervyn Thomas and Ayo
Adedoyin; expressed their fears in a protest letter to Dominic Raab, UK foreign
secretary.
Citing the shooting down of the Nigerian Air Force fighter
jet by bandits, they expressed worry that the country was now under the control
of non-state actors unleashing terror at will, particularly in the North-East
and North-West.
“An intense gunfire from bandits caused an aircraft
returning to base from a mission on the Zamfara-Kaduna border to crash.
“We fear that Nigerian citizens are now at the mercy of
non-state actors who have been allowed to evolve and now have the capacity to
shoot down a fighter jet, as has recently occurred in Kaduna.
“These non-state actors are currently unleashing terror at
will, particularly in the North-East and North-West,” the letter said.
Recall that Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State had
raised an alarm over the displacement of many residents by the insurgents
around Munya and Shiroro, adding that the terrorists placed their flag in
Kauri.
