Hours after
brave civilian vigilante forces delivered the best recent news; of
liberation of northeastern cities, to the entire world, in an utter show
of terrorism and dangerous treachery, the Nigerian police have been
instructed by President Goodluck Jonathan government to "screen" the
vigilante groups.
Rather than
receive support from this administration, the brave vigilantes who are
being celebrated by all and sundry for their triumphant action in the
recovery of occupied territories where Nigerians were suffering under
Boko Haram rule; a feat the Nigerian army could not, are to be
persecuted?
Quoting
PremiumTimes: “The Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, on
Thursday, directed all commissioners of police to ensure the adequate
screening of vigilante groups across Nigeria.
A statement by
the police spokesperson, Emmanuel Ojukwu, said this was aimed at
ensuring that the groups abide by relevant regulations and avoid any
form of abuse.
He noted that
Mr. Abba instructed that an officer be appointed in all the police state
commands in Nigeria to oversee the activities of the vigilante groups
and deliver regular reports on them.
The directive
comes about 24 hours after over 70 Boko Haram members were killed by
some local hunters in Maiha Local Government area of Adamawa State.
Maiha fell into the hands of Boko Haram insurgents after a fierce battle with the Nigerian troops on Monday.
However, the local hunters ambushed the insurgents and killed them in their dozens.” End quote.
The corrupt and
billions of dollars bloated Jonathan government and police who are yet
to protect life in the northeast or any other part of Nigeria and who
have not policed the territories lost to Boko Haram, but are
mischievously desperate enough to rush out to decree that they will
witch-hunt the Ibn Fadlallah civilian forces who have been liberating
cities in the northeast including the hometown of the nation's chief of
defense, Alex Badeh, is a clear evidence that the Jonathan government is
set on frustrating life in the north and protecting and promoting Boko
Haram.
This action is a
clear and further indisputable indication that Jonathan is a sponsor of
Boko Haram. The sudden rush to persecute the brave vigilantes is
in-your-face, evidence of the Jonathan government’s desperate and bold
desire to obstruct and destroy the nation.
Barely had the
armed civilian resistance forces scored these amazing victories and
liberated the people, also capturing and handing over Boko Haram's
"Emir" installed in Mubi to the Nigerian security department, did
Jonathan hurry to order the police to attempt to harass these brave and
selfless warriors to "follow protocol." What protocol? Is that the
protocol that Dokubo follows? Is that the protocol that Tompolo follows?
And what is this government doing with the records of abuse of the
Nigerian army that suddenly they see an urgency to find “abuse” by the
great patriotic legions battling Boko Haram?
What happened in
Kaduna with the Islamic movement and massacre of three sons of a
peaceful Nigerian elite leader? What happened to the abuses reported by
the world Human right organizations? What happened to the BRT buses
abuse in Lagos? What happened to the newspaper stand abuses of the army?
Jonathan does not see all those, but what he sees is an urgency to find
abuse in these great mission so he can bribe the leadership and cut
them down as has been done to the Civilian-JTF in Borno after they
likewise destroyed Boko Haram and almost ended their existence earlier
on last year?
Nigerians stand
firmly behind the Ibn Fadlallah civilian forces and all aligned
vigilante groups. We in very strong terms, warn this deadly government
and all their instruments, that anyone who harasses the brave youth
defending the nation and doing what the sabotaged army fails to do will
be a declared enemy of all Nigerians and will come under the full wrath
of the people and international courts as well as the legions who have
risen in the north never to abandon their people to a greed-drunken,
clueless fate, ever again.
