ACF warns of rising insecurity and poverty in North

The Arewa Consultative Forum has raised fresh alarm over worsening insecurity, deepening poverty and growing humanitarian crises across Northern Nigeria. Chairman Mamman Mike Osuman said terrorism, banditry and kidnapping are uprooting families and destroying livelihoods in many states.​ Speaking at the ACF’s 79th National Executive Council meeting in Kaduna, Osuman listed Kwara, Southern Kaduna, Katsina and Benue among areas facing rising attacks.
