NGNasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has urged political leaders in the North Central region of Nigeria to cease politicizing insecurity, warning that ongoing political divisions could provide opportunities for criminals and militants to exploit. At the North Central Zonal Security Summit, Sule emphasized the need for unity among regional stakeholders to address security concerns effectively, highlighting that political tensions have hindered progress against insecurity. He noted that improved relations between Nasarawa and Benue states led to a significant reduction in attacks but warned that this trend reversed after new leadership took over in Benue. Sule also called for increased investment in modern technology to strengthen security agencies. Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang echoed these sentiments, criticizing the simplistic characterization of attacks on farming communities as 'herders-farmers clashes' and advocating for more comprehensive strategies to combat banditry and kidnappings.
