Activist Aisha Yesufu has strongly condemned the ongoing wave of terrorism in Nigeria, describing the attacks as indiscriminate and ruthless. In a statement shared on her official Twitter account, Yesufu highlighted that terrorists do not discriminate based on religion, gender, or tribe.
She criticized the tendency of some citizens to frame attacks along religious or ethnic lines, warning that such narratives allow perpetrators to escape accountability. Yesufu tweeted:
“Terrorists are killing citizens indiscriminately! They do not care about religion, gender or tribe. Yet as citizens we have continued to make the killings about religion and tribe. The terrorists are getting away because many of us turn a blind eye when the victims don’t have a certain label. May the souls of those killed rest in peace.”
Nigeria continues to grapple with terrorist and armed group activities, particularly in the northern and central regions, which have led to loss of lives, displacement, and economic disruption. Analysts warn that the politicization or religious framing of attacks weakens societal cohesion and hampers effective counter-terrorism measures. Civil society voices like Yesufu’s emphasize the need for a unified national response that focuses on humanitarian protection, intelligence-driven operations, and community solidarity.
The statement also reflects broader concerns about the role of citizens in addressing terrorism. By acknowledging all victims equally and rejecting divisive narratives, communities can strengthen accountability, enhance reporting of threats, and reduce impunity for perpetrators.
Yesufu’s message serves as a wake-up call to Nigerians: terrorism is a national threat that transcends religion, ethnicity, or social background. Effective response requires collective vigilance, societal unity, and government accountability. Moving beyond divisive perspectives ensures that all victims are recognized, perpetrators are brought to justice, and efforts to restore peace are inclusive and effective.
