the militants are getting out of hand - something should be done to stop them. We all own this country.

alabi,

This is an inevitable occurence man. When the minority threads on the rights of the
majority, what do you expect?

Those that need to be stopped are those who think they have the right to
subvert the wishes of the people. We all can't remain STUPID for ever

i feel handling this case ought not be a major thing

These so called militants should be called for a round table discussion where
they all voice out what their problems are, and it should get met or if its not
and easy thing to meet, alternatives or proposals should be given.

without this, these problem will definitely continue

what problems do militants hope to solve by armed struggles? by killings, by kidnappings, by resulting to distrupt the polity? Criminals ganging up in the name of militancy is outright rubbish and the country should not fold her arms and watch the polity destroyed. Kidnapping and asking for monetary ransome has nothing to do with fighting for a just cause.

I hear they were trying to kidnap Jonathan. God will save us they said his wife flee on boat. lol

Remember this line?

Be careful of what you ask for!

It was confirmed that they were not after Jonathan but Inec Chief.
