A Nigerian Islamic scholar and cleric, Muhammad Bello Aliyu Yabo, popularly known as Bello Yabo, has called on Nigerians to take proactive measures in safeguarding themselves and their families against escalating terrorist threats in the Northern part of the country.
Yabo, while addressing a congregation in the North, stressed the importance of self-defence and urged citizens to equip themselves with weapons as a necessary step for protection against increasing terrorist activities.
Reacting to the killing of Alhaji Isa Muhammad Bawa, the Sarkin Gobir of Gatawa District in the Sabon Birni Local Government Area, Sokoto State, Yabo said, “Those who can afford to buy weapons should do so.
“Go and buy guns or any other type of weapon you can manufacture; go ahead and produce them. “How can you stand by and watch a criminal invade your house, abduct your wife, or kidnap you while he uses his weapon to control you?”
He added that since the government is supplying weapons to the terrorists, people should also seek out weapons to defend themselves.
“After everyone has obtained their weapons, let everyone come out and face them. Since they cannot kill everyone at once, why should we allow these criminals to eliminate us?
“Look at the audacity of the terrorists, blocking roads and telling everyone to park. Has everyone become so powerless? Is there no resistance to be offered? May God ease our affairs,” he prayed.
