The self-defense they preached, Oh ye cowards: Attacks on ESN and Igboho vigilante group -By Micheal A. Adeniyi
The government has announced that extremist are camped in our forests, ESN are combing the many forest the security agencies have not been able to search through, Igboho and Amotekun are doing the same. Why arrest vigilantes? Or the call for self-defense simply mean “surrender yourself and die in peace”?
At first, they said “submit your guns”, next they said “governors cannot set up a security outfit”, then they came to blame Nigerians calling them coward for not defending themselves against RPG wielding killers, like you should defend yourselves with catapult while they move around with dozens of security men as bodyguards. Then they came for men who came out to defend themselves and took them away. It is officially the FG vs the the citizen hour.
The coward-in-general has blamed governors. He has asked them to secure their states but it warned that any body with gun must be killed at sight, but it kept releasing terrorist calling them repentant. What a president. He will soon blame Allah, when its citizen O’clock.’
Amotekun
The minister of interior has asked us to defend ourselves. The government has started attacking citizen who defended themselves by resisting the criminals and the forceful attack on Igboho’s house by armed men in uniform when the same government had admitted that Boko haram now uses military uniform. It also kept silent in agreement that Christian soldiers are killing Muslim terrorist which is bad, according to Sheik Gumi. Igboho’s vigilante group realized the Military men who came for Igboho are Christian or vice versa, hence he must be protected. He doesn’t deserve to die in Military religion supremacy battle. We now have a Christian military and Muslim military. That alone can be classified as group of religion extremism. It is better if FG will deploy pagans in the military to tackle insecurity and make arrest. Do they need to come like a thieve in the night to arrest suspects? Well, I don’t know.
