“You must rise to protect yourselves from these people; if you depend on the Arm Forces to protect you, you will all die.”
This was the view of the former Nigerian Minister for Defence, Lt. General Theophirus Danjuma at the maiden Convocation ceremony of Taraba state university in Jalingo, Taraba state capital today, Saturday.
The elder states said that the unnecessary killings by herdsmen across the country are targeted as ethnic cleansing on the people of Taraba and Nigeria at large, advising the people to ‘rise and defend themselves against the killers.”
“This ethnic creasing must stop in Taraba, and it must stop in Nigeria. These killers have been protected by the military; they cover them and you must be watchful to guide and protect yourselves because you have no any other place to go.
“The ethnic cleansing must stop now otherwise Somalia will be a child’s play.
“I ask all of you to be on your alert and defend your country, defend your state.”[myad]
