Dear Nigerian lawmakers(senators and house of representatives members)

Self preservation is a universal principle and right, this inherent principle is recognised by nature, and by laws of reasonable civilised societies.

I was reading a news about a man who was sentenced to death, for defending himself, when he was attacked in his farm by allegedly, an herder...and it is shocking to me because Nigeria being plagued by banditry, kidnapping and terrorism can not defend themselves?

This is counter productive and gives the criminals a upper hand. Our laws should be streamlined and clearly state laws supporting right to self preservation and no trespassing. It is important to point to you lawmakers that you are there to represent the people, your office is the people in power, you are there because of the people, but it seems you people are not really concerned about what affect the people. Banditry, terrorism, herdsmen attacks, and kidnapping are existential threat, and I don't see the urgency in the parliaments to use instruments of the law to deter or stop this menace.

Self defence is simple defending yourself from an attacker/attack, at that point of being attacked with a weapon capable of killing or causing grevious bodily harm, the victim should be allowed by law to strike back to neutralise the threat by any means available, if the threat dies in the process the victim should not be held responsible.

In advanced nations like America that wants to deter crime, they have self defence law, stand your ground law, and no trespassing law...I follow crime stories and I have never seen a victim sentenced by an American court for defending himself.

Why is this principle not applicable in Nigeria, after all, law should follow common sense, and it's common sense that removing the right from the people to kill terrorists when they come to kill them is counterproductive to to fight against terrorism and kidnapping bedeviliing us all.

Nigerian government, Nigerians have suffered enough, house of assembly I am calling on you and the senate of Nigeria to support the fight against banditry, kidnapping and terrorism by empowering good citizens to be able to defend themselves and kill terrorists and bandits who launch attacks on them.

Nigerian senate, critical times call for critical actions, in every ward, Nigeria security apparatus should have at least 20 well armed undercover operatives, who will be the first buffer incase of attack, this well armed operatives and well armed vigilantes should be able to ward off the attack till back up comes.

Nigerian government, President Tinubu create a forest ranger unit, select new recruits from across all wards, train them and send each recruits back to their ward to protect their forests...we have to occupy our forests...let's turn them to military training grounds, game reserves and open the up.

God bless the positive good citizens.

States must come together and form regional security networks to man highways and forests of regions. Let us use our manpower to protect our lands, towns and homes... rather than them going about idle smoking colos, government must put this human resources to work.

Those in jail too should be made to work for their sins.

Coward this is a thread to find solutions to the incessant killing of Nigerians by terrorists, yes the people must have a right to kill terrorists, self defence is a universal principle.
