How shameful was the reason
given by the Chief of Army Staff that the army troop could not be dispatched to
the flashpoints in Plateau State villages to wipe out the terrorists because of
difficult terrains? Do Nigerians need any more proof that some top security
agency officials are in cahoots with the religious militia? Who is fooling
whom?
Of course, the security
agencies take dictation from the real owners of the APC who are overtly behind
the Islamic militia terrorists ravaging Christian communities in Southern
Kaduna and the Middle Belt region. The time-honored saying that "You can
deceive some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the
time" has been conclusively proved in the intractable and pervasive
insecurities in Nigeria.
The standard best practice the
world over, especially in federations with a multi-level policing structure,
has been scorned by the owners of the APC, which dictates what should be done
in the "already expired Nigeria." They insist on a centralized
security architecture that enables foot soldiers for Islamization to cover all
the terrain and forests in the county and act with impunity and monstrosities
while going scot-free.
Common sense dictates that if
the realistic security architecture, which is multi-level policing, cannot be
allowed, the tendency for people being slaughtered like chickens is to bear
arms for self-defense. This is allowed by the United Nations.
