Following the abduction of the Kagara students and staff yesterday at the Government Science College, Niger State, the Minister of Defence, Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi (retd.), has reportedly said it is the responsibility of every citizen to be at alert amidst the insecurity in Nigeria.
According to a video posted by AIT, 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”.
Stressing this further, be said, “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”.
