Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports
Former Defence Minister Theophilus Danjuma has maintained his claim that the government is to blame for bandits, terrorists, and insurgents infiltrating many parts of the country.
The retired Army General made the new allegation on Saturday in Wukari, Taraba State, while attending the installation ceremony of a traditional ruler.
He claimed that the bandits’ plan is to re-colonize Nigeria, and that if there is no resistance, the country will be destroyed.
Track News recalls that Danjuma has previously accused the government and security forces of conspiring with criminals to oppress and kill Nigerians.
2018 Flashback
In 2018, Danjuma claimed that the security forces were either unable or unwilling to stop criminals from killing Nigerians, accusing the military of coluding with the bandits.
His position sparked outrage, but military authorities dismissed it as mere speculation based on the findings of an investigative panel formed to look into his claims.
I have been vindicated.
However, Danjuma stated on Saturday that current events have vindicated him and demonstrated that he was correct all along, despite government and military positions to the contrary.
In reference to the 2018 saga, the former Minister stated that he did not accept the invitation of the panel formed to investigate his claims.
Despite the government’s continued denials, he believes the truth is becoming more apparent.
“When I warned a few years ago that the armed forces are either incapable or unwilling to protect us and that we must defend ourselves,” he says, “the first denial came from the ministry of defense.”
“They said I was lying, so they formed a kangaroo board of inquiry to look into the truth or falsity of what I said.”
“They invited me to come and testify, but I declined.” They wrote their report, claiming that I was merely speculating and that there was no evidence. But there is now proof.
“The entire country is now being overrun, and one very clear thing is that these foreign invaders are destroying everything, and our government has allowed them to come into the country.”
“My training as a soldier teaches me that the best defense is an attack.” We’re all sitting ducks right now, and these people are armed to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction.
The Bandits’ Strategy
The bandits’ plan, according to Danjuma, is to recolonize Nigeria and take over the vast expanse of land.
He added, however, that Nigeria must rise to the occasion, confront and chase the criminals away, because anything less is dangerous for the country.
“They’re attempting to recolonize us and take over our land,” he explained. This country, which has the highest proportion of black men, is being ruined by completely useless criminals.
“My prayer is that God Almighty, who has given us this land, will give us the courage to confront our enemies, track them down, and root them out, driving them out of the country, or else Nigeria will be finished.”
