A Middle Belt retired army officer who could no longer stomach the crass impunity and lawless governance template of APC-led Buhari and Tinubu administration opened up in a trending video and revealed how disenchanted the army officers (who were NOT sympathetic to the Boko Haram murderous pimps) kicked against the acceptance of encircled Boko Haram insurgents.
He said that instead of dispatching
the bloodthirsty serial murderers and hordes of hell to the world beyond, the
'order from above' was that they should be treated as "Prisoners of War
(POW) and tagged as "repented and surrendered". The federal
government, not reckoning with the horrendous atrocities and monstrosities, had
to spend hundreds of millions of Naira in the so-called "rehabilitation of
the repented Boko Haram insurgents".
The same federal government
ignored the victims of the murderous pimps and those languishing and dying in
droves in makeshift refuge settlements even as the children of the killed
parents are roving aimlessly in life, hungry, begging, not taken care of, and
not going to school. To add salt to injury, the ideologically hardened
terrorists without any iota of repentance, were herded into the army without
the application of the Federal Character Commission principle of balance in the
36 states of the Federation in recruitment. What are the state of origin of the
supposed rehabilitated Boko Haram insurgents and the numbers recruited?
The question is: going by the
Federal Character Commission principle, how many 'Boko Haram' in other states
of the Federation were recruited to balance the recruitment? The middle belt
retired army officer fumed that soldiers all over the world don't know what
repentance of warlords mean other than to hasten their meeting with God for
judgment.
He warned about the imminent
danger now and in the future in the herding of hardened terrorists into the
nation's security agencies by the suspicious leadership of the APC-led Buhari
administration which president Tinubu apparently has not deemed it meet and
proper to reverse for the security of the country now and in the near future.
To say that Tinubu's body language is suggestive of leading the country on the
ignoble trend of his predecessor, might be saying the obvious.
It is shocking that Tinubu has
apparently ignored the nationwide clarion calls for restructuring governance
with decentralized security architecture as integral part which remains the
effective and efficient security arrangement and mooted the idea of FORESTS
GUARDS, is abhorrent to say the least.
There is no other way to
interpret the preposterous, harebrained and ludicrous idea that Tinubu is
unarguably a stooge of the section of the country which stridently kicked
against decentralized security architecture which is an integral part of
Restructuring the lopsided Federation to restore realistic principles of
federal system of government for the country to move forward and join the
league of industrialized countries of the world.
