Hunt, as a universal and natural occupation, is as old as man. Since the beginning of the time, humans hunt for the purpose of capturing or killing wildlife for meat, while in other cases, rejecting dangerous predators to guarantee a peaceful environment.
The extraordinary, the rise of crime has changed the form of these existing professional and social formations in which the help of hunters is often necessary in many cases to guarantee a peaceful, safe and harmonious society, while still maintain their old traditional practice system.
The atrocious crimes perpetrated in recent times throughout the nation have changed narratives, topography and architecture. The hunt has changed in shades, in color and in the “ode-aperin” temperature has gradually metamorphosed with “ode-ajinigbe, gbomogbomo” with reckless contempt. When the elephant hunter suddenly becomes Hunter of Man! It is absurdly absurd.
The hunt for delicacies suddenly transformed the hunt for money even at the expense of life in the name of the kidnapping which gradually became a new occupation that has spread throughout the nation.
The alleged duplicity of security agents and complicity is more discouraging, although tacitly, by the federal government. To shout aloud, vines, values and significant customs have become too insignificant and … I am lost in qualifying words.
The murders in the Plateau, Benue, Ondo and the Uromi-Edo 16 of the alleged hunters raise more security problems.
The violence and the unbridled killing of people on spurious accusations are unacceptable and should be condemned in an extraordinary way while the authors should face the entire weight of the law. They are in total condemnation of “Jungle Justice” as a framework of the reportage in these accidents, in particular Edo 16 as it initially presented to the public.
Uromi’s killing requires greater analysis and adequate investigations by intelligence and security agents to ascertain the facts and fictions.
Reports indicated that dastardly agents in both cases require more judicious and in -depth investigations and not just a scratch on the surface. The problems must be adequately investigated. Travelers on night trips should not have been wasted in accusations won that they were kidnappers. This was my initial reaction to the report.
The holiness of the lives certifies the fact that no one violates another even under intense provocation. While it is accepted that, given the benefits of doubt, so to speak, it is unacceptable in a civil society without evidence and imperative facts that allude to the alleged acts of kidnapping, there are some serious implications that must be addressed.
Do relationships say they were hunters? Hunters? If the hunters really cross the hunting shipment. Where to where does it come from? These questions must be established by the Security and Intelligence Departments.
The most disturbing is the mention of companies Company. His involvement in the entire set up. It is pertinent that the management of damage is rendered on these problems. For all that is known today, it is believed that Dangote Management is transporter of goods produced by Dangote companies, certainly not of weapons and ammunition.
The direction is to explain the involvement of its trucks an accessory to transmit weapons. Have the company’s vehicles were certified by the security agencies to ferry the weapons of the federation states aside from home cements and raw materials? Is the company not an accomplice in providing services to the criminal elements of the northern actions that escape every part of the nigeria clandestinely?
While on this, it is necessary to express further light to establish the criteria for licensed hunters on the crossed edge or on hunting shipments. Although it can be a free country where every citizen is safe, free and safe to practice business and vocations, he leaves so much bile that national gaslights must be made only by small criminals questioning our national unity.
The intent and the purposes for such a subjection to international misfortune must be questioned. We must take into consideration the various traditional and tribal understandings of different cultures and companies called Nation Nigeria for the review and adequately assessed.
With adequate intelligence work embarked, it can be discovered that something does not add here.
Although the first does not hold waters, what about the second results: huge sum of money in dollars and millions of naira hidden in the truck? It cannot be said that this is the proceeds of the games or sales from the market! How come?
Am I aware that in the hunters of professionals of the closer climates are authorized and granted movement permits to cross the hunting shipment, do these laws exist in Nigeria? The movement of these hunters must be established and, otherwise, what are the security guidelines that must be provided by the authority saddened with this responsibility, in particular the Ministry of the Environment?
Other problems that must be considered are:
* What are the classifications of the permitted guns or granted to hunters?
Nigeria’s audience must know the markets in Port Harcourt, where they normally sell their games and catches to determine the prospect of this company!
All this ambivalence for the save of face is full of deceptive and deceptive camouflage. They must be revealed.
Recently, I wrote about the impudent nature of the police to respond to Audit’s question issued by the Senate on firearms dispersed in the armory.
There is the need for responsibility. In the wake of these murders throughout the country and with pretended spuries of those elements masked by hunters and the concentration of an ethnic group that sees nothing wrong with the destruction of agricultural land for the herds to graze and the killing of the owners of the farms while trying to prevent these intruders from having met the violence of their violence, there should be answers to requests.
These criminals are armed with sophisticated AK-47 pistols who have shown openly to kill, mutilate and rape women brazenly without any retaliation by the government. Although these do not go, it is quite encouragement for these criminals to continue the massacre of innocent people.
It should be remembered that the communities of Edo North and Edo Central Axis have been under this siege of Fulani criminals. They subjected young women to inhuman treatment while they are raped by these criminals. Even minors in the presence of their parents and married women in the presence of their husbands have not been saved.
The relationships of these criminals are known to safety and intelligence agencies in the area. The government did not come to rescue the victims. It was a bottled anger when the supervisory group and the young people decided to guarantee their communities.
The shepherds and kidnappers before the murder had taken the communities in the areas would not be protected, so they were vulnerable at any time. It has always been a harvest for them. Say that the stories will follow the morning after the act must have been done. I want to believe that the story changed this time and suddenly have been driven out.
.
It should be remembered that General Ty Danjuma (RTD) in 2018 on national television asked that the Nigerians should be ready to defend themselves if the State had not acted decisively to protect lives and properties.
Listen to it; As a soldier, the best defense is the attack. At this moment, we are all seated ducks. These people are armed to the teeth with weapons of mass destruction but we don’t. We have the numbers and the earth belongs to us. They are trying to colonize us and take control of our lands. Via Majesty, you have to unite our people to defend yourself.
“I will not give you weapons. Find out how the people who have taken it and used the same means to acquire weapons and defend you. That beautiful land called Nigeria was brought to ruin by absolutely useless criminals. How do they arrive here? We have to discover the source of the arms of the terrorists; the Nigerians should also find a means to face themselves to face the terrorists,” he said.
He said that when he accused the military of collaborating with the terrorists, a liar was labeled, but the Nigerians finally made the truth.
In my efforts to put these opinions to the public, lively attempts have been made to investigate and search where agents authorized by the government are designated who sell these sophisticated weapons-AK-47 and the Kalash. I could not position a finger on anyone for the entire length and amplitude of the country.
This leaves a big question mark on the state of safety and contracts for firearms in the country. We all know that there is proliferation of weapons and ammunition that gradually has become the exclusive reserve of an ethnic group!
The notorious call by the past administration of Buhari who asks for the surrender of weapons and ammunition by the public was a ruin of the nation that I believe is the incorrect hiring of good will by the then government of the nation. How much did you influence those in whose hands these weapons were found under the mask of the pasture?
Methinks professional hunters are authorized to cross boards on hunting games. They should be adequately identified as such and, above all, since people are not authorized to transport guns, be structured and processed for a correct identification and classification.
It is still one thing to worry about the reason why these Fulani elements have become so bold as to transport pistols in the middle of people. They do it without any fiction. They boast when they are challenged.
They knew that nothing would have happened if I had arrested them. Orders would come from Abuja and before you know, they are released. Uromi’s impact may have reported that the government is ready to reduce the abyssal and defective and no efficiency of the police with the dismissal of one of the best officers in the management of the killing of Uromi. I think it should be done more.
Greater attention must also be paid to the issue of weapons by the police.
The proliferation of firearms has significantly undermined the country’s security architecture. Those who should not be in possession are armed to the teeth, especially by politicians and their hangers. Touts and Hooligans on the pretext of being a private security are issued with a local hunter license to bring weapons by the police. Through the non -articulated permits, they fall into the hands of unwanted elements without due diligence.
The Uromi-Edo accident has put the languages that are shaking and people are starting to interpret the government measures on this issue from the contextual ethnic prism-
* The owner of the Fulani gun is a hunter …
* The owner of the Edo gun is a cultist
* The owner of the Yoruba gun is a thief
* The owner of the IGBO gun is an “iPob” and terrorist member.
* Owner of Delta Gun as a militant.
Fulani man with a gun – it is for protection, other tribes captured with weapons are criminals.
It is hoped that the rapid response to the Uromi carnage establishes a precedent for a decisive repression on these criminals, setting free people and claiming the lands occupied by these terrorists. Be that justice has not served among the corners and the cracks of the earth …
Wither Nigeria!
