Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere has said General Theophilus Danjuma was right when he warned that self-defense has become necessary if Nigerians want to survive under the Buhari administration.
General Theophilus Danjuma (retd), while speaking at a book launch, at the University of Ibadan, said if he should reveal what he knows that is happening in the country, Nigerians will no longer sleep.
He said: “In Yorubaland, everybody seems to have lost their voice, scared. And people appear not to care about what is happening. If I tell you what I know that is happening in Nigeria today, you will no longer sleep.
“So, Chief Ayo Adebanjo’s warning and advice is very timely. If you want details, I will give it to you privately.
“We are in a big hole as a nation. And people who put us in this hole have continued today. So, we’ve to wake up. Only we can save ourselves."
With the recent unfolding events in the Southwest region, the Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr Yinka Odumakin said no one is safe anymore as Fulani herdsmen have taken over the southwest region and said.
“The Fulani orchestrated insecurity has taken over the Southwest and people cannot sleep with their two eyes closed, our women are being raped and people are being killed on a daily basis including Obas on the street.
“Our governors are not giving lawful orders, even the President aides are saying you can’t chase herders out of the forests.
“We are completely unsafe. Look at a whole Nobel Laureate, last weekend, he was trying to ask the President what to do about herdsmen, three days later they took over his house in Abeokuta.
“And somebody was saying that Soyinka’s house was unfenced. Go to London, go to America, you will see a lot of unfenced houses. Will they go and be keeping cows there because they are fenced,” he said
He said Nigerians may resolve to defend themselves from the armed bandits saying “General Danjuma has already told us some two years ago that if we are not ready to defend ourselves, they will kill us one by one.”
