Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has slammed the Federal Government, saying that they remain engrossed in inconsequential affairs despite rampant destruction across the country.

He said the government is rather preoccupied with arresting protesters than addressing the worsening insecurity in the country.

In a post on his X Page on Wednesday, Abubakar condemned the terrorist attack in Yobe state on Sunday which claimed several lives.

He wrote, “Despite the tragic bloodshed in Yobe, which has claimed scores of lives, and the rampant destruction across numerous villages in Katsina, Sokoto, and other towns within the North-West and North-Central regions, the government seems to remain detached, engrossed in inconsequential affairs

“The turmoil extends to the South as well, where the disquiet wrought by Boko Haram and the unsettling political discord threatens the nation’s peace. Amidst these grave challenges, the Federal Government preoccupies itself with stifling dissent, resorting to draconian measures such as imposing death sentences on protesters.

“The atrocity in Yobe is a stark testament to the failure of the current security framework, demanding immediate and comprehensive reform. My heart goes out to the victims of these horrific attacks, and I fervently implore the Tinubu administration to demonstrate a heightened commitment to safeguarding life and property across the nation.”

Insurgents on Sunday attacked Mafa Village, close to Shekau, the home town of the late Boko haram leader Abubakar Shekau.

The gunmen stormed the village located in the Tarmuwa Local Government Area of the state, killing many with several houses burnt down.

Police spokesman, Dungus Abdulkarim, who confirmed the attack to Channels Television said the incident was reported to the police by a resident.

“Adamu Hassan, a resident of Mafa residents, reported the incident to the Tarmuwa Divisional Police Station.

“The terrorists also killed many people, but we are yet to ascertain the actual number of the casualties,” the spokesman said.

On Tuesday, the Kaduna State government conducted funeral prayers for the 34 victims who were killed in the attack on Sunday.

The deputy governor, Idi Barde-Gubana, who sympathised with the victims, said the state government will work closely with the Federal Government to provide military formation in the area to forestall further occurrence.

He also directed the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to ensure that the displaced persons as well as those who sustained injuries are well taken cared off at their camps and hospitals.
