Reports coming from the Kogi–Kwara boundary today paint a troubling picture of how rapidly insecurity is escalating. Residents describe a climate of fear that grows worse with each passing day, and the latest incident has once again exposed the fragility of safety in the region.
What is unfolding is no longer a series of isolated events — it is the clear sign of a security situation slipping beyond control. Communities along this corridor now live under the constant shadow of violence, unable to predict where the next attack may come from or who the next victims might be.
At this point, Nigerians are left confronting an uncomfortable but unavoidable question: Is our government unwilling, or simply unable, to address this worsening insecurity?
Both possibilities are deeply troubling. One suggests a failure of duty; the other, a collapse of capacity. Either way, citizens continue to pay the ultimate price.
The situation along the Kogi–Kwara axis is a reminder that insecurity is not just a statistic — it is a lived reality for families, farmers, traders, commuters, and entire communities. Without urgent, coordinated, and transparent action from both state and federal authorities, the fear gripping these border towns will only deepen.
Nigeria cannot afford to normalise this level of danger. The signs are clear, and the stakes are too high for silence or excuses.
