Media personality D English Alhaji has raised serious concerns over Nigeria’s worsening security situation, warning that citizens are no longer safe anywhere in the country, regardless of time or location. In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), he highlighted the alarming rise in attacks, emphasizing that danger now looms at any hour of the day. His remarks come amid growing fears over the spread of insecurity beyond the northern regions into the South-West, a development that has alarmed many Nigerians.
D English Alhaji specifically pointed to an incident that occurred on June 8, 2026, in Magun, a community within Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State. He alleged that suspected bandits attacked a Chinese-owned drilling company between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., a time when most people would consider relatively safe. The attackers stormed the facility in broad daylight, killing a soldier who was on duty and abducting several workers. This brazen assault, according to him, underscores how criminal groups have become increasingly bold and unafraid to strike in daylight hours.
He stressed that such attacks are no longer confined to the North, as previously believed. “They don’t enter West. Fully, they don’t enter. We’ve been shouting this thing, people were saying it’s only happening in the North. Now it is now in the West,” he said in the video. His words reflect a growing sentiment among Nigerians who are witnessing insecurity creeping into areas once considered safe. The attack in Ogun State, a key industrial and commercial hub, has intensified fears that no part of the country is immune to violence.
D English Alhaji also reported that the attackers encountered military personnel while fleeing the scene, leading to a gunfight. He claimed that casualties occurred during the confrontation, though he did not specify the number or identities of those killed. Despite the military response, the suspects managed to escape, raising questions about the effectiveness of security measures in the region. The incident has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing shock and concern over the spread of insecurity to the South-West.
The media personality’s warning has resonated with many Nigerians who are increasingly anxious about their safety. His viral video has been widely shared, amplifying public outcry over the government’s ability to protect citizens. As attacks continue to occur with greater frequency and in more unexpected locations, the need for urgent, coordinated security reforms becomes more pressing. The situation in Magun serves as a stark reminder that Nigeria’s security challenges are evolving and require immediate, decisive action.
