In a post on his X account, Obi described the ongoing cycle of “senseless killings and persistent insecurity” as both unacceptable and deeply alarming.

He stressed that what Nigerians urgently need is a united, decisive, and coordinated effort to tackle the menace of insecurity, which has tragically become a daily occurrence in the country.

Obi also extended his condolences to the families affected, praying that they find strength, comfort, and resilience during this period of unimaginable grief.

He wrote: “It is deeply troubling and unacceptable that, as we enter a new year, the cycle of senseless killings and insecurity continues unchecked across Nigeria. Today, in Niger State, we witnessed the horrific loss of over 40 lives in a brutal terrorist attack at Kasuwan-Daji Market in the Domo community of Borgu Local Government Area.

“Just yesterday, armed bandits struck Bong village in Doemak District, Plateau State, leaving several dead. Two days ago, communities in Shanono Local Government Area, Kano State, were attacked. On New Year’s Day in Katsina State, the Unguwar Naino community suffered a similar assault, with multiple casualties and injuries.

“These attacks are part of a tragic and disturbing pattern of violence that has, alarmingly, become normalized. The repeated failure to provide basic security for citizens is a national disgrace, and the toll on families and communities is immeasurable. As a nation, we cannot continue to accept these killings. The protection of lives must remain the government’s foremost duty.

“To the families who have lost loved ones in Niger, Plateau, Kano, Katsina, and other affected areas this New Year, no words can truly ease your pain. But know that the nation mourns with you. May you find strength, comfort, and resilience in this time of unimaginable grief. This cycle of violence must end.”
