Act Now, Declare State of Emergency In The North – Northern Elders to Tinubu
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to take drastic action by declaring a state of emergency in the northern region, saying insecurity has crippled daily life and poses a grave danger to Nigeria’s unity.
In a statement released on Wednesday and signed by its spokesperson, Prof. Abubakar Jiddere, the forum lamented that the rising cases of killings, kidnappings, and violent raids had left citizens vulnerable while eroding confidence in government institutions.
According to Jiddere, “Declaring a State of Emergency in Northern Nigeria, acknowledging the extraordinary scale of the crisis. Deploying adequately trained, armed, and equipped security forces with clear rules of engagement to protect civilian populations and secure international border regions.

“Provide adequate compensation, rehabilitation, and humanitarian assistance to victims including displaced persons, in line with international humanitarian standards. Strengthening border control and regional cooperation with neighbouring states under ECOWAS and the African Union protocols, to stem cross-border incursions by armed criminal groups.
“Engaging international partners, including the African Union, AU, and United Nations, UN, for technical and humanitarian support.”
The group pointed to several tragic incidents as evidence of the deepening crisis, such as the August 19 attack on a mosque in Unguwan Mantau Village that claimed the lives of 27 worshippers, leaving many others injured and displaced.
They also recalled the execution of 35 hostages in Zamfara after ransom had been paid, and separate assaults in Kaduna’s Kauru and Kudan Local Government Areas where eight people were killed and eight others wounded.
Jiddere further noted that “The NEF observes with deep regret that the state security architecture remains inadequate, overstretched, and in some cases complicit through inaction and silence, leaving citizens vulnerable and helpless while eroding public trust in government institutions.”
He stressed that Nigeria has an international responsibility to safeguard lives, citing Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which states that “the inherent right to life shall be protected by law, and no one shall arbitrarily be deprived of life.”
“The recurring atrocities in Northern Nigeria constitute serious breaches of these obligations, and in their scale and persistence, will amount to crimes against humanity under international law and humanitarian cases,” he warned.
The forum assured that it would continue to follow developments closely while engaging both domestic and international stakeholders to secure immediate relief for victims across the north.
