1. Airports is a National Strategic Security Asset. 2. We have a reason why we have a Airport Commandant in the airports. 3. Airforce base in on that same route, the family of officers have a right to move freely. 4. Your video is not conclusive.
The #EndSARS#EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria protesters have been largely peaceful, all of you staying behind your gadgets and encouraging them to storm the Airports and strategic assets. You are plotting serious escalations, sadly innocent people are dying on both sides.
We all agree @MBuhari and @PoliceNG made a mess of this protest and they should be held accountable but protest organisers also have the responsibility and duty of care to people who join them, keep safe and don't give this mad dogs any excuse.
Learn from other protests.
Again @NGRPresident@MBuhari and all the State Governors must reign in on ALL security personal, using live rounds against protesters is a gross abuse of power.
Protesters should also respect the rights of members of the public, you cant deny people from free movement. Wrong!
So a Compatriot who is serving in the Nigerian Police got in touch with me. The officer requested that the publication of the flowing, this was after a 30 minutes plus conversation on @telegram app. 👇🏿🇳🇬
For safety I will keep the name of the @PoliceNG officer out out. Hoping @NGRPresident and the Police can take note and verify independently. 1. The extortion of members of the public including #SARS is not with the @PoliceNG personnel on the road, it is institutional.
2. He claims @PoliceNG Commissioner's embezzles security vote meant for the upkeep of operational officers. Police divisions are meant to get welfare funds but it never trickles down to low ranking officers who now buy their own uniform, fuel car from funds extorted from public
So those provocative post's are from cloned @Twitter handles.
A fake Aisha Yesufu handle posted an old interview of Femi Adesina he granted @channelstv during the #RevolutionNow protest and presented it as Femi on #EndSARS. Fake handle created feb 2020.👇⁉️
Be Vigilant!
So those provocative post's are from cloned @Twitter handles.
A fake Mc Macaroni handle posted the attack on #EndSARS protesters in Abuja and gave it an ethnic coloration by labelling it Hausa Fulani attack.
It appears coordinated and well organised
A lot of @Twitter accounts opened in 2019 and 2020 are flooding timeliness.
To be safe, check a profile before you RT or respond to a provocative post or insult. You might be dealing with characters organised to spread misinformation or bait you into anger.
Thread!
Dilemma across the world amongst oppressed people on the strategy for resistance, I will call it the Malcolm X (Before his pilgrimage to Mecca) BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY option and the Martin Luther King NON-VIOLENCE MEANS option. I was a student of both schools of thoughts.
As fresh student activists in the university of Jos, we had a firebrand inspiring activist named Basil Chianson. Basil, Chima Okereke, Ibrahim Sheu and Ismaila had been expelled for their 'radical' activism by the authorities. Their expulsion gave birth to my radicalism.
When we wrote letters requesting improved welfare conditions for students, especially those in the then neglected Abuja hostel. UNIJOS authorises never bugged. I was part of a delegate that attended meetings with then UNIJOS VC Professor Para Mallum. You got promises and nothing.
Short Thread
As student activists in UNIJOS, we actually celebrated the coup by Major Gideon Orkar on April 22, 1990, naively we mobilised then started a march towards 3rd Armoured Division to 'mobilise in support of the overthrow of General Babangida' vanguardngr.com/2020/04/flashb…
We were so glad IBB was 'gone', can't remember now. I think it was either @AbdulMahmud01 (then NANS President) or Benjamin Okonofua who knocked on my door and said 'Sankara it is over'. I was Sec-Gen of the Students Union Luka Dalang was President I had more or less overthrew him
Fell on myself, Kemi Afolayan (Asst Sec Gen) Benjamin Okonofua, Kashim Ibrahim I think, Abiodun Olamosu and a lot of members of the 'Movement' to mobilise Abuja hostel (Every "revolution" starts in Abuja' we did not think, we were charged, moved the entire Abuja, Babylon, Village
You call me a traitor? The major legacy of your father late Victor Babaremilekun Adetokunboh Fani-Kayode to any free born Yoruba is that of a TRAITOR thus the popular Yoruba adage. "Ori mi oni jekin dale bi ti Fani Kayode"
@realFFK .@realFFK If you did have evidence of the lies you are now pushing out, how come the government you served under OLUSEGUN OBASANJO never charged me before any court but chose to keep me under SSS underground cell until @fkeyamo challenged your evil govt hrw.org/reports/2003/n…
@NGRPresident@MBuhari It is a very painful week for me, but whatever pain I feel is nothing compared to the pain more than 30 families are feeling in Maiduguri Nigeria right now.
Boko Haram attacked a major road close to the Maiduguri Air Force base and Maiduguri airport.....
I know the area, I stayed in that side of town for days when I visited Maiduguri and photos from the area bring back memories. The terrorists according to reports killed over 30 people, operated for hours unchallenged,
