The arbitrary increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS popularly called petrol in the country is no more surprising for many just as the imminent takeover of Aso rock, the seat of power in Abuja is soon to be celebrated by bandits.

We now live in a nation where anything can happen and we all take it as one of those normal trends in our polity. Just imagine how bandits who have virtually held the nation to ransom now threatening to attack President Muhammadu Buhari inside Aso rock.

The other day, the bandits attacked the convoy of the President while he was going to his home town for the Muslim festivities and now they struck the Presidential Brigade Guards killing and abducting some soldiers in Abuja.

This no doubt is the height and climax of all the onslaught of the bandits believed to be Fulani Jihadists to conclude their plan of taking over Nigeria. It is no more news that the bandits have surrounded the entire nation even when our security operatives want us to believe that all is well.

It has been one gory tale to another across the nation since the emergence of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and several millions of innocent souls have been killed.

Accusing fingers have been pointed to the Presidency for not taking the required action to stop the senseless killings and violence that has enveloped the nation. The nation has been wrecked by series of coordinated attacks owing to the protracted herdsmen attacks and Boko haram insurgency unabated

The rebellion by this sect has overwhelmed everyone to the extent that traveling through the roads and by train has become a night mare as no one can tell who will be the next victim of such attacks.

The insurgents have penetrated and turned our villages and farms to grave yards with such bizarre killings. We have found ourselves in a state where piles of bodies in very grotesque forms have become a common sight.

The news media are inundated on a daily basis with the atrocities committed by these armed killers who claim Nigeria belongs to them and they want to claim it by force. They have made life miserable for several families, both young and old.
They have practically taken over the North East and other parts of the country with the residents fleeing their homes into the bush. Since the attacks began, farmers have been deprived of going to their farms and even the markets have closed in such areas.

With this unfolding trend in our farms, hunger has taken over the land and if drastic measures are not taken to stop this madness of these herdsmen or whatever name they call themselves food insecurity is gradually staring the nation in the face.

We do not need any prophet to tell Nigerians that a coordinated war is raging all over with the simultaneous attacks been carried out in different parts of the country as people are killed like chickens, women raped while many children who may survive their attacks are now orphans.

But the intriguing aspect is the fear and apprehension in some quarters that President Muhammadu Buhari may be abducted by these bandits and when they achieve this they will be in control of the seat of power and then only God knows what will become of 2023 general elections.
