Nigeria loses seven military commanders to terror, bandit attacks

Rising insecurity in Nigeria has triggered fresh outrage after the country lost six serving military commanders and one retired Major General to terrorism and banditry within five months.

From deadly insurgent assaults in Borno to the abduction and death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar in Katsina, the killings have intensified concerns over worsening insecurity and the safety of both civilians and security personnel.

The wave of attacks began in February with the killing of Lt. Col. O.C. Okolo during a Boko Haram raid in Borno and continued through March and April, claiming more senior officers in separate insurgent strikes.

The latest tragedy involved retired Maj. Gen. Rabe Abubakar, who died in captivity weeks after terrorists abducted him and his wife in Katsina and demanded the release of detained bandits.

His death sparked nationwide anger, with political leaders and Nigerians condemning the government’s inability to secure his freedom.

Reacting, Peter Obi described the incident as a national tragedy and called for a stronger intelligence-led security strategy, while Sam Amadi said insecurity had become a national disaster.

President Bola Tinubu, however, insisted the government would not negotiate with terrorists, warning bandits and kidnappers to surrender or face the full force of the state.
