Nigeria’s Defence Minister, Bashir Magashi, has advised
citizens to defend themselves.
The retired General told Nigerians to stay at alert at all
times.
Magashi addressed reporters on the banditry and attacks in
some parts of the country.
The minister said people should not be cowards, adding that
bandits sometimes possess 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.”
On firearms, he said even in developed countries, they are
debating whether to continue or not.
“But I don’t advise Nigeria to start issuing firearms for
personal use”, Magashi said.
