Meanwhile, a civil society organization, Centre for Peace and Justice Initiative (CPJI) has charged the Nigeria military particularly the Nigeria Air force and other security outfits in the country to be decisive in dealing with security threats around the country.

The CSO while reacting to reports of a blast in Doma community, at the border between Benue and Nasarawa States that led to the killing of about 30 persons also urged Nigerians to refrain from accusing the military of complacency anytime there is a breach in security operations.

According to the group, available intelligence shows that there are clandestine plots to cause crises around the country with the aim of thwarting the 2023 general elections. Consequently, it is expected that security agencies must be decisive in quelling such threats, the group said in a statement made available to Legit.ng.
