Ideho made the remark while reacting to the incident on an interview on the news central tv, noting that the attack on an elected official with security escorts points to growing threats faced by public office holders, especially in parts of the North West.
He said the killing of the four security operatives and the abduction of the chairman highlight both the vulnerability of government institutions and the need for urgent and coordinated action to address banditry and violent crime.
According to him, the incident should serve as a wake-up call to federal and state authorities to review security strategies, strengthen intelligence gathering, and provide better protection for public officials and citizens in affected communities.
Ideho called for increased collaboration between security agencies and local authorities to restore safety and public confidence, adding that the safety of elected representatives is critical to sustaining governance at the grassroots.
