It is deeply unfortunate, frightening, and completely unacceptable that Nigerian armed forces could drive through a public town of PUSH*T and begin shooting indiscriminately, causing panic and chaos among innocent citizens Without any reason in Push*t surrounding areas were thrown into fear as armoured vehicles moved through the heart of the community while gunshots were fired by the Armed Forces . Schools had to close, businesses shut down, and families ran for safety. This is not protection — this is trauma.
Below the picture here I passionally saw this shel after the soldiers left.
Not just that a Reports say that almost, if not more than, 20 innocent people were injured previously at sabon gari . Yet this kind of action is often dismissed with the excuse of “flying bullets.” Flying bullets? Are human lives now reduced to accidents and statistics? What are the so-called security agencies taking citizens for? Every bullet fired in a public environment has a destination, and that destination could be someone’s father, mother, child, student, or neighbour.
This happened in broad daylight, in a peaceful town. If this can happen openly in a busy community, what happens to ordinary citizens tomorrow? Who will be the next victim? The duty of security forces is to protect lives and property, not to create fear and panic among the very people they are meant to defend.
Mwaghavul people, it is time to wake up and pay attention. These soldiers are not in Mangu by accident — there must be accountability, transparency, and respect for civilian lives. Our communities deserve safety, dignity, and protection, not fear and unanswered questions.
What happened today should never be normalised. It is wrong, it is unfair, and it must not be accepted.
