The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) has lambasted the Federal Government over the delay in the rescue of kidnap victims in Dekara community in Borgu Local Government Area of Niger State.
The PRP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, said the failure to rescue the victims validates its position that the government has allegedly failed in its primary duty to secure lives and property.
The party charged the government to take urgent steps to address the spate of insecurity in the North-Central and North-West.
“This unfortunate incident accentuates the party’s position that the current administration has failed in its primary duty to protect the lives and property of its citizens. The inability to safeguard citizens from such heinous acts is both worrisome and unacceptable, warranting widespread condemnation.

“The party insists that the government must step up its efforts by holding security officers accountable, revising policies to genuinely improve the welfare of the Nigerian people, and intensifying efforts to restore peace and safety across the nation,” it stated.
Furthermore, the PRP condemned the death of 37 miners in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger and called for an independent inquiry into the incident.
“The PRP condemns the tragic death of 37 miners who lost their lives while in NSCDC custody in Minna, Niger State. We demand the immediate establishment of an independent Commission of Inquiry to determine the causes of this unfortunate incident and call for the prosecution of anyone found culpable.
“As a party committed to justice and good governance, we implore all relevant authorities to take decisive action to address these pressing security issues and uphold the dignity and safety of every Nigerian citizen,” the PRP noted.
