They were 35 get trucks in all – 35. The vehicles had no number plates; in this manner, there was no possibility to get to earth you could recognize the managers in the occasion of a street disaster – actually for the benefit of the tenants.
soldiers on watch
In each of the trucks were no less than eight savage looking, intensely furnished men. They wielded what somebody called General Purpose Machine Guns (Gpmgs). Some of them wore veils – what that could likewise mean is that if one of them did anything untoward, nobody would distinguish him.
Also the men were wearing dark – dark T-shirt, dark trousers, some in dark veils; a couple of wearing face-tops. The main type of shared characteristic is that there was "DSS" recorded on the once again of their T-shirts. This could be a decent move; great if the men were heading to Sambisa Forest to safeguard the kidnapped young ladies of Chibok. Be that as it may no! They were not in the North-East, nor were they in Borno State, Maiduguri or even Chibok.
They were in Oshogbo, the Osun State capital, on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. More terrible, still the men in dark shot circulating everywhere that Wednesday! Whatever that was planned to attain was not promptly caught on. A few issues need clearing here. Why would officers of the state who are not in a battle region be in veils? Why would officers of the state who are paid by citizens drive in unmarked autos? Why would officers of the state shoot randomly into the air like Hamas or Hezbollah warriors? Why? Why?? Why???
The threat that is step by step crawling into the nation is yet obscure. This is not about the All Progressive Congress, APC, or about the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
It is about decency, national security and great sense. Since Nigeria is a modern country where hoodlums effortlessly gorilla security agents, let us bring the risk home.
Envision you are driving late at night on Benin/Ore Road, or Ilesha/Akure Road, or Enugu/Awka Road or Kaduna/Abuja Road.
At that point envision you see a gathering of men, 10 in number, wearing dark T-shirts, with the DSS engraving on them, weapon wielding, and halting vehicles freely for an as far as anyone knows stop-and-hunt operations. With the reason of keeping national security, who would set out test this gathering of 10 men? Who would set out approach them for their ID cards?
Who would challenge need to know the motivation behind their activity? To confound matters, if these men were equipped thieves, how would anybody know?
Regardless of the possibility that officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, were driving along the same street, their distorted manifestation of comradeship or brotherhood would simply be a hollering sound of 'ALL CORRECT SIR', or 'OFFICERS ON DUTY', or some other such mottos. Still envision some Boko Haram parts wearing dark T-shirt and wielding firearms in an escort attacking any of the apparently protected states of South-East, South-South and South-West and unleashing dread. How would the DSS be exculpated? Include the point of the covers! Along these lines, who do we capture? Who would complete the captures? Simply envision men in dark with the DSS engraving endeavoring to capture an alternate gathering of men in dark with the same DSS engraving!
Why is this probe vital? This call to consideration is vital on the grounds that the occupation of national security obliges dignity and great sense. In truth, the Department of State Services, DSS, needs the backing of all Nigerians to succeed in keeping everybody safe. Truly, there ought to be no impedance in the exercises of the men of the DSS.
Yes, in all actuality, Nigerians ought to help and be seen to be supporting all efforts to establish safety being placed set up for their wellbeing. Notwithstanding, when the similar Nigerians intended to be ensured gotten to be casualties of mental dread by the organization they support, there is requirement for reflection.
The stories are well known of how parts of the Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, which in English means, "Individuals Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet's Teachings and Jihad", and overall known as Boko Haram, attack towns and towns wearing military regalia, driving in a guard of 10, 12 or 15 Hilux get trucks; and, from there on, vanishing into Sambisa Forest.
Presently, if 35 get trucks might be located in Oshogbo, why can't the same number of trucks with the mean men be conveyed to Sambisa Forest?
That is an inquiry for the DSS to reply. Maybe his consideration has not been attracted to it, so by this very piece he is, no doubt educated.
Ekpeyong Ita, the Director General of the DSS, is known to take care of business of peace. He is credited with changing and converting the division. A talent agent in his days, Ita has accomplished more great to the DSS than a large portion of his antecedents. Unassuming, continually wearing a cool look, the time it now, time for this courteous fellow agent to guarantee that his specialization and all he has worked for all these years are not made a joke of by virtue of the activities of a few enthusiastic men in dark.
God preclude that day. However it is as of now incident in Borno State, where some men wear military regalia and execute pure Nigerians. The DSS ought not open itself to the inadvertent blow-back of Nigerians seeing it as an Enemy of the State due to the behavior of a couple of, not many, corrupt components.
For President Goodluck Jonathn and his PDP, there is nothing in the camp of the APC that can shake his return one year from now as President and Commander-in-Chief. Yes, the APC may in any case jab fun with its verbose flashes of pertinence in the commonwealth. Anyhow with its refusal to wash itself clean of a conceivable Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket till date, it would oblige something of disastrous slip from Mr. President to lose that decision.
Along these lines, permitting a few officers of state to overheat an alternate piece of the nation, is unnecessary.
Osun State, which holds a governorship decision on Saturday, is not Sambisa Forest, where this show of power is req
