For months the Nigerian military has hunted the notorious terrorist Bello Turji. He even dared to slap a ₦50 million “levy” on farmers in a northern community—forcing them to pay just to access their own fields.
Yesterday, while watching Al Jazeera and CNN, I learned how Mossad used deep-cover intelligence to wipe out top Iranian targets in its latest raid: IRGC Commander-in-Chief Major General Hossein Salami, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri, IRGC strategist Gholam-Ali Rashid, and prominent nuclear scientists such as Fereydoon Abbasi-Davani, Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, Abdolhamid Manouchehr and Ahmad Reza Zolfaghari
Yet our own military—even though it’s regarded as one of Africa’s best and has excelled on foreign missions—still can’t seem to stamp out home-grown terror. What’s holding us back?
My take: sabotage. Until we root out moles and anyone with soft spots for terrorists, we’ll never break the chokehold these criminals have on our country. What we need is unshakable political will—full support, resources and accountability—to give our troops the edge they deserve.
God bless Nigeria.
