Tambuwal stressed that terrorism should not be viewed through ethnic or religious lenses, describing it as a collective threat to society. He also commended the Federal Government and security agencies for their swift response to the situation, describing it as reassuring to residents. Olawepo-Hashim also cited the mysterious explosion in Offa, Kwara State, as another indication of Nigeria’s fragile internal security and intelligence coordination. According to him, Nigeria’s increasing reliance on external military intervention amounted to a “damning indictment” of the APC government, noting that the country’s internal security architecture remained weak and ineffective. Without urgent internal reforms, improved governance and decisive political leadership, external military interventions will not produce sustainable results,” he said.
