Minister of Defence, General Bashir Salihi Magashi (rtrd), said Nigerians are coward for not confronting bandits that are killing and kidnapping innocent people in the country.
The minister said this today in his interview with newsmen in Abuja, he said its not responsibility of military alone, it is the responsibility of everybody to be alert and find safety when necessary
“We shouldn’t be cowards. Sometimes the bandits come with about three rounds of ammunition and when they fire shots, everybody will run. In our younger days, we stand to fight any form of aggression.”
Why should people run away from minor aggressions? We should stand and face them. If these people know that the people have the competence and capability to defend themselves, they will run away.” the Minister said .
He further said “Let these people know that even villagers have the competence and capability to depends themselves”
The Minister also said even though they’re stretched but their duty is to make sure no Nigerian is hurt and they are capable of protecting the integrity of the nation and they will continue doing that.
