The security situation in Maiduguri the state capital of Borno, Nigeria, has defied solution for long. Many innocent lives have been lost. All of a sudden the checkpoints have intensified with security personnel infringing on people's fundamental human right under the pretext of security threats. Who is supposed to be protected? the people or the culprits? Worst of all is the fact that the personnels were also among the targets of attacks.
For months the situation continues until recently when the checkpoints has suddenly disappeared without a reason. God knows why but the people in Maiduguri deserves some explanations. They suffered the most.
To fully analyse the situation, it is important to understand the fact that there are some people behind this act who are supposed to be brought before the law. The people are not after arrests without trials in the open. The common man has the right to know those charged with the crime in the court of law, irrespective of their status or connection. Those who stands to gain from the chaos should also be interrogated as possible suspect.
