The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has revealed how villagers his guns after troops killed terrorists.

According to him, this happened when he was the Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK) in the Northeast.

The CDS said: “When I was a theater commander in the North East – Harden-Kai – for 19 months – sometimes terrorists would come to a village with weapons to launch an attack and we would kill them, but before we would get there, all the weapons would have been hidden.

“And they would dig them out and attack us from the rear.”

To tackle insecurity, he urged religious leaders and traditional rulers to revisit the country’s value system

“These are things that were alien to us. Unfortunately, we are losing family values. You would find out that even within a family, a brother will kidnap his younger sister and tell their parents to pay.

“It is that bad because the society has been monetised. Everybody thinks that when he gets money his issues are solved. Those are the things we need to address.

“Family values have gone down; that’s why I appeal to religious leaders and traditional rulers to revisit our value system. We must put emphasis on bringing God, faith and sincerity in our lives. Somebody mentioned that Nigerians are religious but not godly,” Musa said.

For those doubting the credibility of the CDS , let me paint you this scenerio.

It is undisputable to every one that the Nigeria army now fly drones isn't it?

The army on several occasions have intercepted and neutralized terrorists and bandits using these drones but before ground troops get to the area of rendezvous , only burnt out carcases of terrorists without their weapons would be met.
In some instances, they even go with their dead.

Another scenario is when surveillance planes give the coordinates of terrorists and bandits hideout and the artillery unit is called into action.
The forward ground troop meet the same situation ( bodies without weapons).

......sometimes terrorists would come to a village with weapons to launch an attack and we would kill them, but before we would get there, all the weapons would have been hidden.
And they would dig them out and attack us from the rear.

Well understood now. Thanks.
It means some of the terrorists have mingled with the villagers or some villagers are complicit.

And some people claim legalization of guns will make Nigeria better.

This man's encounter shows that many unarmed people aspire to become terrorist but lack weapons.
