Former Chief of Army Staff, Theophilus Danjuma, has called on Nigerians to defend themselves against bandits and insurgents, citing the ongoing killings in Plateau and Benue states. Speaking at a public event, Danjuma expressed concern over the worsening security situation in the country.
“You must rise to defend yourselves; otherwise, you will all die,” he warned.
Danjuma criticized the government’s handling of security, stating that reliance on state protection is no longer enough. His remarks have sparked mixed reactions, as communities continue to suffer deadly attacks despite the presence of security operatives.
