A Prince and son of the late Emir of Borgu Emirate, Murtala Haliru Dantoro has appealed to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to rescue his people from ravaging terrorists now occupying the kingdom.
The Prince of Borgu kingdom made the appeal while speaking with journalists on the security challenges in the kingdom on Thursday
He said, “the escalating insecurity and killings in Borgu and Agwara Local Government Areas have reached an unbearable level, leaving the people in constant fear and anguish”.
According to him “I am deeply troubled by the continuous loss of innocent lives in our communities. Families are being torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and our people are gradually losing hope in the ability of leadership to protect them”.
While begging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, thevPrince reminded him that he is a traditional title holder of the kingdom stressing the urgent need for intervention and provision of lasting solutions to this security crisis.
“Our people deserve to live without fear, to farm their lands, and to sleep peacefully in their homes. This is not just a local crisis, it is a humanitarian emergency that demands immediate and decisive action from the highest levels of government”.
He said democracy thrives where there is security and hope, not where citizens live in perpetual terror, adding that, “I therefore
urge the Federal Government to deploy adequate security personnel, provide necessary resources, and work with local stakeholders to restore peace to Borgu Kingdom”.
“Our people have been patient and resilient, but patience without action breeds despair. The time to act is now, before we lose more lives and before our communities lose faith entirely in the government’s capacity to protect them”, he said
