The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the recent surge in terrorist attacks across Nigeria is being fueled by internal saboteurs who are working against the country’s security interests. In a statement released on Saturday, party spokesperson Seye Oladejo alleged that certain individuals within the security and political ecosystem are compromising national‑security efforts by leaking classified information and weakening operational structures.
According to the APC, the pattern of recent attacks points to insider collusion. The party cites the attackers’ unusually accurate knowledge of troop deployments, unexplained disruptions at security checkpoints, and spikes in violence that coincide with political flashpoints. It also accuses some political actors of amplifying terrorist propaganda and using insecurity to score political points.
The Lagos APC emphasizes that only insiders could facilitate such coordinated breaches and urges the Federal Government to identify and prosecute those allegedly undermining security operations. The party expresses confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, noting that his administration has adopted a ruthless, intelligence‑led strategy to counter terrorism. Oladejo warns individuals allegedly aiding or abetting terrorist activities that their network will soon be uncovered, stressing that Nigeria will prevail over its present security challenges.
The APC commended the Armed Forces for maintaining their commitment despite acts of sabotage by a few “bad eggs.” It highlights internal sabotage as a major factor in the wave of terrorist attacks that Nigeria has been experiencing. The statement calls for decisive action by the Federal Government against those compromising national security, noting that the country’s security challenges show no signs of abating.
The government’s response to the APC’s allegations will be closely watched as Nigeria continues to grapple with the threat of terrorism. The ability to identify and prosecute those undermining security operations will be crucial for restoring stability. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the government will address the APC’s concerns and work to overcome the current security challenges facing the nation.
