Yesufu made the call in a post on X while reacting to a report by Masara Kim about the burial of victims of the attack.
Sharing the report, Yesufu wrote: “As long as we don’t come together and put a stop to this, it is only a matter of time before Nigeria happens to us.”
She added: “Yesterday’s victims were once survivors. Today’s victims were yesterday’s survivors and tomorrow’s victims will be today’s survivors!”
The post Yesufu shared described an emotional tribute by a young widow whose husband was reportedly buried in a mass grave alongside colleagues killed by terrorists while manning a civilian watchpost.
The report carried the headline, “You Died As A Hero,” and described the deceased as among those killed in the attack.
The account circulating online did not, however, provide enough independently verifiable information to establish the identities of all the victims, the precise location of the attack or the circumstances surrounding the reported mass burial.
Yesufu's reaction focused on the broader implications of recurring attacks and the effect of insecurity on Nigerians who survive previous incidents but can later become victims themselves.
Her statement framed the situation as a continuing cycle of violence, warning that communities cannot assume they are permanently safe simply because they have survived an earlier attack.
The activist did not identify a specific government agency or security operation in her post, but called for Nigerians to collectively work toward ending the violence.
The underlying report and Yesufu's reaction have continued to generate discussion online, although the specific details of the reported attack could not be independently verified from authoritative sources at the time of publication.
The comments come amid continuing public concern over terrorism, banditry and attacks on civilian communities in parts of Nigeria, with security agencies and governments regularly facing calls to strengthen protection for vulnerable communities.
