Insecurity: Nigeria A Laughing Stock In Comity Of Nations – TY Danjuma

The former minister of Defense, Gen Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) said going by the ongoing insecurity across the six geopolitical zones, the country has become a laughing stock in the face of the whole world.

Danjuma stated this on Friday in Ibbi, the headquarters of Ibbi local government area of Taraba state when he declared open the 2024 Nwonyo Fishing and Cultural Festival organised by the state government.

Danjuma said killings, kidnaping, displacement of people, hatred and other related criminal activities which have bedeviled Nigeria have destroyed the image of the country such that many countries hardly send delegations to witness events or invest in Nigeria.

He urged Nigerians to unit and fight against insecurity and other related criminalities to regain her prestigious image in the face of the international community.

The Taraba State governor, Dr Agbu Kefas said the state government organised the festival as a means of promoting culture, unity and peace among the people of the state.

The governor called on the people of the state to remain peaceful among themselves for meaningful development to strive.
