The recent arrest of the embattled leader of the Yoruba Nation movement, Sunday Adeyemo (aka Sunday Igboho), highlights the capability of the Nigerian government to track whosoever it wants.

But the valid question on the minds of many Nigerians is why the same government seems to lack solutions to the security crisis. Many wonder why the government is yet to form an alliance with its counterparts in Niger, Chad, Cameroon in bringing terrorists to book.



Some Nigerian states have become a no-go area due to the fear of kidnapping and killing by either criminal Fulani herdsmen or bandits. These criminal elements have turned kidnapping into a huge business venture. It is so bad, that an Emir in Katsina was seen weeping after being released by his captors. If a palace is not a safe haven, where is?

When the Emir wept on his return from captivity, it became apparent that all is not well. These criminals are so emboldened, that they whisked away the traditional ruler and 13 members of his family who are still in their den. It is understandable that the Emir is traumatized by his ordeal and the fate of his family members.

Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho become more popular
But it appears that the priority of the Nigerian government is terribly misplaced. Extraditing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and pushing for the extradition of Igboho, who has been clamouring for the Yoruba Nation, seems to be top of the agenda. Whereas it should be securing the lives and property of its citizens.
