Insecurity: Nigeria must not become a killing field, Obi tells FG

Presidential candidate Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress has condemned recent killings and abductions in Nigeria's North-Central region, warning that the country must not become a "killing field." Obi expressed concern over attacks in Benue, Plateau, and Niger states, describing them as a national security emergency and urging governments to take urgent and decisive action to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further bloodshed.

He emphasized that Nigeria is not officially at war, yet citizens are being attacked in their villages, abducted after prayers, driven from their homes, and stripped of their farms.
