First, the failure of security is everywhere, not just in parts of the North. The only difference is that it manifests more intensely in the three northern regions, including the Middle Belt, where Christians are mostly concentrated. As for legal action, yes, it is possible to challenge the Federal Government for failing to protect lives in any part of the nation, not just in the regions mentioned. Such action can be filed under the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Rules for violating the right to life and security guaranteed by the Constitution (Sections 14 and 33). If domestic remedies fail, cases can also be taken to the ECOWAS Court or the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights
