Abubakar regretted that this \u2018war without morality\u2019 has spread across all corners of the country where people slaughter themselves at any slightest provocations.<\/p>\n

The former military leader stated this at the 30th convocation of the Federal University of Technology (FUT) Minna, the Niger State capital, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are facing a hard time, security-wise. The war front is everywhere. This is a war without any morality, where the old and the young are slaughtered without any cause,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Abubakar pointed out that the country\u2019s security forces are overstretched, calling on all Nigerians to join hands in making sure that information is provided to them where possible.<\/p>\n

Speaking further, he said, \u201cAs we go into politics, caution Nigerians and politicians. Please, wisely play the game. Avoid using our children and grandchildren for propaganda and \u2026trying to make them do what we know is wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for the youths, please, avoid being used as thugs and purveyors of disharmony and violence in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
