Nigerian activist and journalist, Omoyele Sowore, has sounded the alarm on Nigeria’s deepening issues, asserting that the nation is deteriorating faster than many realize. In a recent statement, Sowore pointed out severe disruptions in security and judicial operations across various regions.
In his words, “The depth of Nigeria’s ongoing deterioration has not been figured out by its people.” Sowore noted the alarming rise of a new terrorist group in the Northwest, adding to an already challenging security landscape in the region.
Sowore painted a bleak picture of the South Eastern region, where, he says, the area has “practically left Nigeria.” According to him, the instability has forced the closure of Federal High Courts, numerous police stations, and commands, making it nearly impossible for law enforcement to maintain a presence.
Additionally, Sowore highlighted the relocation of Court of Appeals divisions from Nnewi, Enugu, and Awka to other locations. He noted that the Court of Appeal’s website prominently displays just one case—the ongoing litigation against Nnamdi Kanu, underscoring the region’s significant judicial crisis.
This grim overview by Sowore raises questions about Nigeria’s trajectory, as many essential institutions face disruption due to instability. His comments bring to light the extent of Nigeria’s complex struggles, highlighting the urgent need for reform and security measures.
