TAKUM, NIGERIA – Former Defense Minister Theophilus Y. Danjuma urged Nigerians to increase self-defense in Nigeria due to the country’s worsening security. Speaking at an Easter event in Taraba State, he said citizens must take more responsibility for their safety because government actions alone are not enough.
Call for Community Vigilance
General Danjuma warned about the dangers of inaction. “If our people do not stand up and defend themselves, bandits and terrorists will take over our society,” he stated. His comments emphasize the growing discussion about self-defense in Nigeria. He encouraged communities to organize, stay alert, and protect their areas from banditry and terrorism. He believes unity and preparedness are essential to stop the nation from falling further into chaos. His remarks stress that citizens must actively participate in security, especially in regions frequently hit by attacks.
Gratitude Expressed at Event
While urging self-defense was key, the Easter event was also a chance for Danjuma to thank people. He acknowledged his staff, partners, and affiliated companies. He specifically praised the TY Danjuma Medical Centre team for their dedicated healthcare work despite challenges. The gathering combined celebration with Danjuma’s serious message about shared security responsibility.
