An International Affairs Analyst, Adoyi Omale, says Nigeria is a sovereign country, stressing that any attempt to invade or send military force to attack the country would be an act of aggression.
Omale made this statement on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
He said that while Nigeria is a sovereign country, sovereignty does not absolve the government of its responsibility to protect lives and maintain justice.
The International Affairs Analyst further stated that the persistent killings across Nigeria must not be downplayed, urging the federal government to ensure justice for victims and take stronger action against those responsible for ongoing violence and insecurity.
“Nigeria is a sovereign country, and any attempt to invade or send military force to attack Nigeria would be an act of aggression.
“But that is not to say the international community is wrong to point out problems where they exist, especially when there are serious allegations of genocide or terrorism,” he said.
According to him, terrorism and insecurity have become global concerns and must be confronted with urgency and sincerity, lamenting that Nigeria’s security response has failed to produce meaningful results, leaving citizens exposed to attacks.
“Terrorism is a global phenomenon, and a terrorist anywhere in the world is a threat to global peace. The Americans have made it clear they will not allow terrorists to continue occupying space in Nigeria. To be very frank, there are lots of killings going on, and nobody is holding this government responsible for it. It has been happening for quite some time,” he added.
