A Nigerian man, Olumide Olaniyan, has raised alarm after spotting another man believed to be a civilian, pictured above, roaming the streets in Nyanya, Abuja with an AK47 hung on his body. Read what Olumide wrote below

I was driving along Mararaba-Nyanya road this morning. I saw this man with a gun that looks like AK-47 or an automatic gun, I initially thought he is a security personnel, but, his dress, shoes and overall shabby look suggests otherwise.

I was tempted to go ask him about his ID card and why he was such a psychological violence to onlookers. Then, I remembered Maama Sunde's counsel those days I used to do student activism at the University of Bariga, "ma se subolation si oro oloro, [don't interfere in other people's matter, face yours]".

I felt that it is my business to ensure that there is safety and security in the land. I felt like questioning this dangerous looking man, on behalf of Nigeria. But, my sense talked to my brain, they both forced me to drive on. I will never know if the man is a vigilante, or a state security personnel. That certainly was not a Dane gun. That clothing was not a security personnel uniform. An undercover agent won't expose himself with an automatic gun in public. Our country is currently a fragile state, no onewho isn't a security personnel, should be allowed to move around with arms which may distress others.

Could this man be one of those so called Malian herdsmen that have flooded Tangaza LGA and other areas in Sokoto state? Nigeria needs to protect its territories from (possible) internal and external aggression. When people just walk along, unbothered with this kind of an uninformed and ununiformed man in their midst, it means we are drifting towards Hobbesian Democracy...

He wan come collect monthly dues from them buhari..!

Na their messenger be dat na..!

he's a fulani
so there is nothing wrong with it

Who confirmed he is a civilian, and what will facebook do about it?? Instead of calling the Police, he is there posting on facebook.

This is very dangerous.

No military agency would allow any if its personnel to dress in such a stupid manner. And where are they to tame this insane armed herder before he causes havoc that will take several years to recover from?

Like OP rightly said, undercover agents do not brandish their weapons just like that.

This administration is a lot of thing including lawlessness!

i know him...he is their brother..

Why not quickly draw the attention of security agent to him while snapping? Why waist you time snapping and typing to post on facebook when you could have alerted the police to it?

he is a member of myetti allah cowtail!

the untouchables!

the owners of nigeria from sudan, mali and chad!
