Perturbed by the killings in the country, a coalition of 48 civil society organisations in Nigeria has enjoined President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on the current security situation in the country.
The coalition made the call during a world press conference on Monday, in Abuja, stating that they are deeply concerned by the deteriorating state of security across Nigeria and its Federal Capital Territory.
Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC), Auwal Musa who spoke on behalf of organisations, said they are perturbed about the rising insecurity across the country and urged the government take urgent steps towards ending it.
