Nigeria Mass Killings and Global Indifference

A former presidential candidate, Gbenga Hashim, has highlighted a fresh wave of mass killings across Nigeria, many of which are underreported, intensifying concerns over global indifference. Repeated attacks in Nigeria===Kebbi State, Nigeria===Kwara State, Nigeria===Benue State, Nigeria===Plateau State, Nigeria===Niger State, and Nigeria===Nasarawa State have resulted in hundreds of deaths, exposing a widening and persistent security collapse. Hashim criticized the muted response from global institutions like the United Nations and the African Union, noting that only Donald Trump has shown consistent concern. He argues that Nigerian lives are being devalued in global consciousness, with mass killings treated as routine statistics rather than an urgent human catastrophe. Armed groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province, along with bandit networks, are exploiting weak security presence and delayed response systems, pointing to a structural failure of security coordination at the national level.
