Back to the root, that is what the Northern Emirs meant when they
instructed their subjects in the region to employ every means, including
diabolical ways, of defending themselves, urging them never to wait for
soldiers’ intervention in the face of Boko Haram attacks.
The emirs, who
expressed worries over the deteriorating level of insecurity being perpetrated
by Boko Haram, equally called on their
subjects to bring out natural talents and supernatural methods in protecting
themselves from the insurgents. According
to Sanusi, Islam is of the view that anyone who dies protecting his country,
property or family is not only hero but a saint. “Those that Allah has blessed
with any form of self protection means and strategy should use it for any
aggression,” he said
They berated the
Nigerian Army for their inability to protect the region from insurgency and
called on hunters and other warriors to wake up to the challenge by adopting
any means of self-defence.
Speaking during
an interview with the British Broadcasting Cooperation, Hausa Service,
monitored by our correspondent in Jos, Plateau State, the Emir of Kano, Mallam
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who expressed the position of his colleagues, said: “We
cannot sit and watch our people killed on daily basis,”
Sanusi was quoted
to have made this known at the formal prayer session organized by the emirate
council in an effort to find a lasting solution to the increasing cases of
insecurity in the North
He added: “Do not
sit down and think that the soldiers will come to save you.
“You do what you
are supposed to do before they come.”
