Obi Question Tinubu’s Empty Promise After Bandits Attacked Jos Again
Obi Question Tinubu’s Empty Promise After Bandits Attacked Jos Again
“How can a president make such a categorical promise and, mere hours later, the nation continues to count the dead across multiple states?” said Mr
Former presidential candidate Peter Obi says President Bola Tinubu’s promise to protect the people of Plateau has failed following the latest deadly attack on the Nyamgo Gyel community in Jos South local council.
In a statement on Monday, the former Anambra governor said, “Less than 24 hours after President Tinubu stood at the Jos Plateau State airport on April 2, 2026, and promised the grieving Nigerian citizens, ‘I promise you that this experience will not repeat itself’, another brutal attack occurred in Nyamgo Gyel, Jos South LGA, resulting in the deaths of several innocent citizens.
“Since then, and only a week following that reassuring promise from the president, Nasarawa state has been plunged into grief as the Akyawa and Udege Kasa communities fled for their lives after gunmen killed at least 11 people. Many homes were reduced to ashes, and numerous families remain missing.”
He noted that in Zamfara, 150 people were abducted from the Kurfa Danya and Kurfan Magaji communities, adding that on the same day of the Zamfara kidnappings, terrorists in Borno State stormed Chibok, killing four officers and burning down houses.
“Yesterday, on Easter Sunday, Benue state was rocked by violence again, with over 17 Nigerians massacred, entire communities left in ruins, and many individuals still unaccounted for. Today, in Kaduna state, several innocent citizens were killed by terrorists inside churches, with many others abducted in the Ariko community of Kachia LGA.
“Yet we were told, ‘This experience will not repeat itself’. This represents a failure of leadership and responsibility, and sadly, Nigerians are paying for it with their lives,” Mr Obi said.
According to Mr Obi, the attackers are not ghosts, adding that they were, however, emboldened by the authorities’ inaction.
“How can a president make such a categorical promise and, mere hours later, the nation continues to count the dead across multiple states? The primary responsibility of any government is to protect lives and property; however, this responsibility is failing today.

“Nigerians are being slaughtered in their homes, in their communities, and in the very places they should feel safest. Even the President did not enter these communities, so who is truly safe in Nigeria? This is a national emergency. Nigeria is bleeding, and the situation is worsening and increasingly helpless,” Mr Obi noted.
Mr Tinubu visited Jos last Thursday, where he confined himself to the Yakubu Gowon Airport during his condolence visit to relatives and victims of a violent attack on the Gari Ya Waye community of Angwan Rukuba, in Jos North. During his speech, the president promised residents that there’d be no repeat of such incident in the state.

“The ADC remains proud to stand today as the only truly democratic party in Nigeria, because it is the only political party whose choice of Presidential candidate is determined through open primaries, “ the statement said.
The party noted that the conduct of all participants before, during, and after the primaries would send a strong signal to Nigerians about the kind of leadership culture the ADC seeks to build.
“We therefore urge all aspirants, their supporters, delegates, and party faithful to conduct themselves peacefully, responsibly, and with dignity throughout the process. This election must reflect the values we claim to represent as a party committed to transparency, internal democracy, national unity, and the rule of law,” Abdullahi stated.

The party also reassured members that all necessary measures had been put in place to ensure a free, fair, transparent, and credible primary process.

The Ogun state police command has reportedly arrested a man for allegedly staging and circulating a fake bandit attack video on social media to gain followers.
According to Zagazola Makama, a counterinsurgency publication, the incident was reported on May 23 after one Ayinla Sodiq from Obasanjo Ota appeared at a police station alongside the suspect identified as Qowiy Oloyede from Oriya Sokoto road, Atan Ota.

The complainant had accused the suspect of creating and sharing a misleading TikTok video falsely claiming that bandits had invaded the Atan Ota community.
The publication reported that the divisional police officer (DPO) immediately questioned the suspect, who allegedly confessed to fabricating the video to gain followers on social media.
In a viral video circulating on social media, the suspect was seen kneeling while being interrogated by a person dressed in a police uniform.
The suspect admitted in the video that he created the fake bandit attack content to gain followers and trend online.
He also said the herder featured in the clip was a cattle rearer who usually grazed cows behind his shop and had initially refused to participate before eventually agreeing.
The suspect further claimed he could neither read nor write, adding that his apprentice wrote the caption accompanying the video posted online.
He added that he had only produced and posted two similar videos, one on Monday and another on Wednesday.
The police authorities were said to have recovered photographs and video evidence linked to the fake publication during preliminary investigation.

The publication added that the suspect is expected to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Abeokuta, for further investigation.
According to the report, the police also warned residents against spreading false information capable of causing panic and public disorder, urging the public to verify information before sharing content on social media. Eereporter.com
