Should Nigerian Armed Forces Be Fighting On Nigerian Soil? by shegzhkn: 12:08pm On Aug 08, 2018
Knowing fully well Nigeria is not having any external aggression and most military engagement of Nigerian Armed Forces is an internal security issue say Niger delta Militant and Boko Haram.

Meaning the military are killing Nigerian citizens on Nigerian soil , United States posse comitatus forbid the military to enforce civilian laws.

Is it appropriate that Nigerian Armed Forces are fighting in our homeland?

No. I have argued and written research papers on this. It is not only bad but breeds a military culture of annihilation of civilian threats which is counter to justice a rule of law.

In actual facts the op is right,its the full responsibility of the police to counter interior insurgency all things been equal,the use if the Army I believe is for desperate measures for desperate times.
