Ms Olakurin's Death- Can It Be One Just Enough?
The killing of the first daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Ms Funke Olakurin, Friday, brings to the fore the issue of insecurity that continuously has come up our national discourse.
Often, the news waves are inundated with stories of insecurity. If not terror attack, or kidnapping, then it's banditry. And each as they come, is riddled with miff of apprehension.
Apprehension. Daily as it comes, speaks much further and deeper of something more critical: which is that the government of the day seems overwhelmed, if not jolted, by the sizzling trend. Daily, criminality, adorned in different garbs, continue to soar, and the effort that's committed seems to be bamboozled by the force of the latter.
Just as we cannot continue to rue as this thread of insecurity rises, but must stand up to be counted in the defence process, however it must be told to the government that we expect it to do more than it's doing to ensure the guarantee of the cheapest form of security the citizens can afford.
So many a time we've heard about the fears and deaths that fellow citizens have been made to undergo in the hands of apprehensions that comes in the forms of terrorism, herdsmen attack, kidnapping and recently banditry. Linking the nation just as we could expect intercity connectivity of roads and rails for distributed development (although which expectation has failed) the crawl of insecurity in the land has reached a level so nauseous.
Most of our highways have become the bed for the thrive of insecurity. From the Abuja-Kaduna road, to the Benin-Ore road and the Owerri-Elele-Portharcourt road and the Ekiti-Osun axis, the fright and fear spiral.
The incidence of insecurity has not been new, it is an issue that has innervated many spirits and Which concern has equally been raised without significant responses from government that have gone beyond hackneyed assurances. However, it's my prayer that now that the daughter of one of prominent personalities like Pa Fasoranti has been affected, the concern would be seen to be enough to raise the government to action.
Enough is enough!
