Activist lawyer Aisha Yesufu has voiced significant concern about the escalating number of casualties among Nigerian military, urging the National Assembly of Nigeria to take immediate action.

She described troop losses as occurring at a “sickeningly alarming rate,” raising concerns about whether lawmakers elected to safeguard civilians are carrying out their duty.

Yesufu enquired whether the National Assembly had called the appropriate authorities to explain the issue and what legislative measures were in place to protect soldiers and their families.

She also expressed concern for the well-being of families left behind by slain soldiers, asking clarification on the support mechanisms available to them.

According to her, the problem is exacerbated by a passive legislature. She warns:

“It is one thing not to have a Commander-in-Chief; it is another disastrous thing to have a passive and controlled National Assembly.”

Her declaration comes as the public becomes increasingly concerned about security issues and the safety of military personnel stationed around Nigeria.

Read what she wrote below:

“We are losing our soldiers at a sickeningly alarming rate. Where is the National Assembly? They were voted to be the people’s representatives and protect the interests of the people!

Who have they summoned to ask them what is going on? What laws have they made to ensure soldiers and their families are protected?

What happens to the families of our slain heroes? What is the National Assembly doing to protect their interests?”

Her declaration comes as the public becomes increasingly concerned about security concerns and the safety of military personnel stationed across Nigeria.
