…urges Nigerians to defend selves against killers
A former Minister of Defense, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd.), on Saturday, accused the Nigerian military of collaborating with armed to kill innocent Nigerians.
Danjuma revealed this while speaking at the maiden convocation of the Taraba State University, Jalingo, Taraba State.
“The military are helping the herdsmen to kill Nigerians. They cannot stop the killings because they are in agreement with them. If you wait for the military to stop these killings we will all die,” Danjuma said, urging Nigerians to defend themselves against the killers.
“The armed forces are not neutral. They collude with the armed bandits that kill Nigerians. They facilitate their movements. They cover them.
If you’re depending on the armed forces to stop the killings you will all die, 1 by 1.” – Gen TY Danjuma

Speaking further, Danjuma said: “I am not a politician and politics is one profession I don’t want to belong to because if I am a politician, I would not say what I am going to say to you now.
“When I arrived this arena, I saw rich cultural display, and I was amazed at the rich cultural heritage of our people. Taraba is a mini Nigeria with diverse ethnic groups living together peacefully, but the peace in this state is under assault.
“There is an attempt at ethnic cleansing in the state and of course, some rural states in Nigeria.
“We must resist it. We must stop it. Every one of us must rise up.”
