Though having a series of deadly encounters with domestic terrorists is something Nigerian security agencies are accustomed to, but the manner in which new terrorists with satanic missions are emerging needs a second look.
In the past, especially after the Nigerian civil war (Biafran war) the three dominant tribes – the Hausa, Igbo and the Yoruba – learnt to live harmoniously in a peaceful atmosphere with each other, irrespective of all sorts of differences as the country is heterogeneous in mature.
This ensued after a fierce battle between Biafran agitators and the then Nigerian government. The devastating effect of that war still echoes and lingers in the heart of many of us.
With this in mind, Sunday Igboho, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Dukubo Asari and other ill mannered persons are now about to set ablaze this unified and united country. My rhetorical question is, have they forgotten the ill-fated and the subsequently mortal consequences of such irrational moves?
