Persistent killings in Plateau State and across Nigeria are a direct result of the government's neglect of the country's security architecture, according to Isiah Davies Ijele, a rights activist and convener of the Police Integrity Movement. Ijele made the statement during an appearance on TVC News' Politics Tonight programme hosted by Olajumoke Olatunji. He attributed the worsening security situation to systemic failures and lack of political will to address root causes. The activist pointed to recurring violence in Plateau as evidence of broader national security collapse. Ijele called for urgent review and restructuring of security agencies to restore public safety.
Isiah Davies Ijele is naming the problem correctly: it is not just violence, but government inaction on security infrastructure that fuels the bloodshed. His critique targets not just Plateau but the entire national framework meant to protect citizens. When public officials allow security systems to decay, every new attack becomes a consequence of policy failure, not just bad luck. For Nigerians, this means little hope of safety without fundamental overhauls.
