Barbaric Nigerian Military Spokesman Justifies Killing Of Shia Civilians On TV by Naijiant: 10:23pm On Nov 04, 2018
Brigadier-General John Agim, the acting director of defence information, said in an interview yesterday in response to why the Nigerian army gunned down about 46 Shia Muslims in the country's capital of Abuja that: "Nobody can take on the military.  We don't have rubber bullets", adding chillingly, that anyone prepared to "take on" the army better "be ready for the consequences".

It was hard to believe he was talking about the citizens he was meant to protect and not a foreign enemy.

Watch the show shame from the officer as the interviewer Osasu Igbinedion tried to hide her incredulity:

That's what it is. A Nigerian Army that kills protesters on the streets.

Can anyone imagine if people were protesting on the streets of New York or London or Berlin and the Army of those countries opened fire and killed several people? It would be a national outrage! The minimum that would happen is that both the heads of of government and Army would have to tell the legislature why the Army had to kill people they are paid to protect

And if no satisfactory explanation is given, heads will roll within the military

But in Nigeria, life is cheap. That's why the military can kill at will and nothing happens. In civilised countries, nobody sees the Army unless there is war. In uncivilised countries like Nigeria, the Army is out there there killing people over nonsense like stone throwing
