“Act Now or Step Aside,” Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Tells Defence Chief Christopher Musa After Fresh Angwan Rukuba Violence

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Challenges Christopher Musa Over Fresh Angwan Rukuba Killings, Demands Urgent Action
A strong wave of political pressure has emerged following renewed violence in Angwan Rukuba, as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan publicly called on Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, to take immediate and decisive action to protect lives.
In a sharply worded statement, the senator expressed deep frustration over what she described as the continued vulnerability of Nigerians in the face of persistent attacks. She referenced the assurances given by the defence chief during his Senate screening, noting that those promises had initially inspired hope but now demand urgent fulfillment.
Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that the time for condolences and explanations has passed, urging security leadership to deliver tangible results. Her remarks reflect a growing public sentiment that security agencies must move beyond rhetoric and demonstrate visible effectiveness in safeguarding communities, particularly in volatile regions such as Jos.
The development underscores increasing scrutiny on Nigeria’s security architecture, as citizens and political leaders alike demand accountability, rapid response, and sustained protection against escalating violence.
