Former Speaker of the House of Rep, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, Thursday, expressed worry that the North is becoming the epicenter of violence, adding that urgent steps must be taken to tackle the problem.
Dogara said this at the Northern Security meeting organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation in Kaduna State.
The former Speaker, who was chairman at the event said: “I have known of no honour greater than to be invited to chair this all-important event which aims to stem the tide of unbridled violence been unleashed on Northern Nigeria.
“At this moment of our history, when graves litter the northern landscape promiscuously and the North has become a killing field, there is no better place to be than at an event such as this.
“The North is now the epicentre and theatre of violence. From Boko Haram ISWAP led by Albarnawi; Boko Haram led by Shekau, and Ansaru insurgency, to farmers/herders conflict, banditry, kidnappings, ethno-religious conflicts, cattle rustling, etc we are confronted with a crisis that is unparalleled in our history. The death spiral appears unstoppable.”
