Youths March, Call for National Unity Against Terrorism

Hundreds of young men and women on Tuesday staged a march to the National Assembly in Abuja, calling on Nigerians to unite in the fight against terrorism and insecurity across the country.

The youths urged citizens, regardless of their socio-political leaning, to present a united front against the security challenges facing the nation.

The youths said they could no longer remain silent while insecurity was being politicized. They expressed concern over what they described as attempts by some individuals and groups to exploit security challenges for political gains.

The protesters called on politicians across party lines to set aside their differences and support ongoing efforts by the federal government to combat terrorism and other forms of insecurity
