The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has called on the security agencies to be alive to their constitutional responsibilities and end the bloodletting perpetrated by the criminal elements in the country.
IPAC has also strongly condemned the Monday attack on the Kaduna – Abuja train in which about nine persons were killed and several others wounded and kidnapped, describing it as outrageous, barbaric, and despicable.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Council on Thursday, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Egbeola Wale Martins.
According to the statement, “Council shares the grief of members of the families of the victims of this dastardly and cowardly attack on innocent citizens and pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded. Security agents should intensify efforts to rescue those abducted in the worst terrorist attack on the nation’s railway.

“IPAC urges security agents to sit up and take their constitutional responsibilities seriously to end this carnage in the country, particularly this electioneering season.
“Government at all levels should ensure adequate protection of lives and property of the populace in tandem with the provision of Section 14(2)b of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which states that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. Nigerians desire and deserve dividends of democracy, not carnage. Enough is enough.”
