Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore has expressed fears over the growing insecurity in Nigeria, warning that bandit groups could soon intensify their activities across the South-West region.
Sowore made the statement during an interview on Sahara TV while reacting to recent attacks linked to bandits and armed groups in different parts of the country. According to him, the worsening security situation should be treated as a serious national emergency before it escalates further.
During the interview, Sowore said, “I’m afraid, I’m not a prophet of doom. These guys are going to overrun the Southwest very soon.”
The activist noted that his warning was not intended to create panic but to draw attention to what he described as the increasing movement and expansion of criminal groups into new territories. He argued that authorities have not shown enough urgency in addressing the threat posed by banditry and terrorism.
