The Minister of Defense, Maj. Gen. Bashir
Magashi (retd.), says it is the responsibility of
every citizen to be at alert amid the
insecurity in Nigeria.
Magashi said this while addressing
journalists as seen in a video posted on
Twitter by AIT.
He said people should show that they are
not cowards by defending themselves,
pointing out that the operations of bandits
are sometimes carried out with a few
rounds of ammunition.
He said, “It is the responsibility of everybody
to keep alert and to find safety when
necessary. But we shouldn’t be cowards.
“At times, the bandits will only come with
about three rounds of ammunition, when
they fire shots everybody runs. In our
younger days, we stand to fight any
aggression coming for us.
“I don’t know why people are running from
minor things like that. They should stand
and let these people know that even the
villagers have the competency and
capabilities to defend themselves.
“Our own duty is to ensure that no Nigerian
is hurt, and we are capable of protecting the
integrity of this nation and we’ll continue to
do it even though we are so stretched.”
When asked if Nigeria should permit citizens
to carry arms, Magashi said, “Even in the
developed countries, they are still debating
on it, whether to continue or not.
“But I don’t advise Nigeria to start issuing
firearms for personal use.”
