It is also a damning proof of the total collapse of our national security architecture, which has prompted even the nation\u2019s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) to ask citizens to learn how to defend themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe carnage in Katsina comes on the heels of the recent killings in Zamfara, where 47 people were slaughtered, including 38 hostages murdered even after ransom was paid. And only this month, no fewer than 45 more Nigerians have been killed in Zamfara, with entire villages ransacked, and dozens abducted. Taken together, over 140 Nigerians have been murdered in just two months in Katsina and Zamfara alone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is disheartening to note that instead of confronting these urgent national tragedies with the seriousness that they demand, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu continues to jet-set across the world, chasing photo-ops, while his people are dying in dozens at home. We wish to remind Mr. President that diplomacy abroad is meaningless if safety and security at home cannot be guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is equally appalling to note that President Tinubu has not made a direct statement of condolence to the family of the victims or given the assurance of safety to those still alive. This negligence would have been unthinkable in those countries that the President loves to visit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn view of the foregoing, ADC therefore calls for an immediate declaration of a State of Emergency in Katsina and Zamfara States until the government can stem the tide of bloodshed in those places and restore some order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also call on President Tinubu and his government to embark on a total re-evaluation of Nigeria\u2019s national security architecture, which has already proven incapable of protecting lives and property. The recent call by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) for citizens to acquire self-defence skills is perhaps the most honest indicator yet that there is a need to rethink the entire internal defence
