Please Tinubu, why can\u2019t we all own Rifles? By Ugoji Egbujo, <\/p>\n

\u2022A three-pronged strategy for your consideration!<\/em><\/p>\n

Poor Nigerians. These days, ordinary\u00a0people are one wrong journey away\u00a0from a brutal death. General Rabe is now dead. Who knows what his family went through to recover his remains? May his soul rest in peace.<\/p>\n

The lessons from Rabe\u2019s killing are for the living. When he served as military spokesman, he did his best to minimise the security crisis and lionise the military. His job was to portray the military and government in the best possible light. But after soothing the populace , perhaps generals should tell their\u00a0 civilian bosses the truth . The current strategy isn\u2019t working .All the bad people in Nigeria own rifles. Good people are not allowed to have them. The politicians own the police and army who protect them at home and on the move . The ordinary Nigerian is a hapless prey. Even retired generals cannot keep rifles in a country where every thug has easy access to one. If General Rabe had possessed a rifle, he might have died a more dignified death. Instead, he was taken like a chicken and slaughtered by rag-tag bandits while the nation wallowed\u00a0 in utter helplessness.<\/p>\n

For over sixteen years, since these insurgencies began, our governments have repeated the same unworkable strategies and served us the same fickle hopes, the same fatuous promises, and the same concocted excuses.\u00a0 The same trite platitudes . It is either \u201cLibya\u201d or \u201cGlobal phenomenon.\u201d Otherwise, it is \u201cWe are winning\u201d or \u201cWe must live with it because all nations now do.\u201d And sometimes, near elections , the blame is heaped on the political opposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it is not Libya. Because\u00a0 Algeria, Egypt and Morocco are closer to Libya. Are they infested with bandits and jihadists?\u00a0 If arms have poured in from Libya,\u00a0 it\u2019s because the Nigerian state\u00a0 is weak and\u00a0 porous . Jonathan\u2019s wife probably believed it was Shettima, Buhari and Tinubu \u201csharing blood\u201d to damage her husband\u2019s political fortunes. Now Tinubu, Shettima, Akpabio and Okpebholo probably think it is Atiku, El-Rufai and others. This easy recourse to cheap conspiracy theorising and finger-pointing is partly why nobody has produced serious new ideas to tackle this intractable problem.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s glaring Tinubu cannot protect the citizens, and he shows neither anger nor remorse. He has to\u00a0 allow people protect themselves.\u00a0 He withdrew policemen from politicians, yet Minister Wike still moves around in Rolls-Royces with a battalion of policemen. Since Tinubu is a pathetic Commander-in-Chief, he should outsource security to the people . He must\u00a0 allow ordinary Nigerians to protect themselves. It was probably good law to prohibit citizens from keeping rifles all those years. But times have changed radically. A desperate situation calls for desperate measures. The government now\u00a0 hires mercenaries to fight bandits. It also\u00a0 allows communities to buy peace from bandits who, it now appears, are permitted to keep rifles. The state is feeble . The law cannot continue to handcuff the law-abiding people it was meant to protect. The original mischief the law intended to curb was the proliferation of military-grade weapons. But the horses have bolted.<\/p>\n

Nothing illustrates our total hopelessness better than the story told by Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed. Last year, his nephew and three companions were attacked at night. The bandits came to abduct them. One tried to run and was shot dead. The bandits\u00a0 are diabolically ruthless.\u00a0 His nephew and the two others ended up in captivity in the bush. The bandits knew Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who worked as Special Adviser to President Tinubu, seconded to Shettima. They also knew Datti Ahmed, Peter Obi\u2019s former running mate. Dr Baba-Ahmed ran to everybody in the presidency to plead for help. The entire presidency was involved. Promises were made to the Baba-Ahmed family. Days and weeks rolled by. The bandits, who had demanded a hefty ransom, began to run out of patience. The government dilly-dallied. The family knew it could no longer rely on the government, so they raised the ransom: \u00a6 175 million, brand new motorcycles, and hard drugs.<\/p>\n

The captives spent 36 days in the forest. The ransom was delivered in three tranches. At one point, the people handling the delivery missed their way in the bush and met soldiers who showed them the route to the bandits\u2019 camp. The government knew the location of the bandits yet they got away with the murder\u00a0 kidnapping and ransom.\u00a0 Tinubu, the Commander-in-Chief, could not help his own Special Adviser. Shettima, who had promised to march into the forest leading the war against the bandits, did not seize the opportunity to show his courage.\u00a0 If the four men had possessed rifles, the bandits would probably not have approached them.<\/p>\n

Tinubu probably thinks state policing will solve the problem. But the state police project, as currently conceived, might not be better than a proliferation of ill-trained civilian JTFs which already exist. Though it provide a needed\u00a0 boots\u00a0 surge , the very idea of state police without a reformed federal police will probably be a disaster. The proper process would have been to reform, reorient and re-equip the federal police first. Then, with the federal police as a bearer of ethical standards and a model of professionalism, the state police units would have a supervisory model worthy of duplication. The current federal police has no culture to bequeath to the state police units. If the state police are funded, trained and equipped as wretchedly as the federal police, they will not be able to fight petty crime, let alone banditry.<\/p>\n

Rather than wallow in persecutory delusions and paranoid permutations, Tinubu should adopt a three-pronged strategy.<\/p>\n

First, the political front. Set politics aside for a moment and pursue genuine national unity. Travel to the affected regions. Sit with the people. Listen sincerely to grievances. Lower tensions. Instead of allowing communities to negotiate humiliating \u201cpeace\u201d deals with bandits while the federal government looks away, show leadership . Lead the negotiations yourself where necessary. At the same time, empower citizens by changing the law to allow vetted, law-abiding individuals and communities to own rifles for self-defence. A people who believe the state is both weak and indifferent will not mobilise for a government that offers them only helplessness.<\/p>\n

Second, the military and security front. Re-equip the armed forces with modern technological warfare. In the Northwest, where forests are not dense, drones should become the primary tool for surveillance, tracking, and targeted elimination of bandit camps. While the military is being retooled, reconsider the quality of mercenaries and special operators you employ. You can keep Asari Dokubo and Sunday Igboho . But we need professionals capable of hostage rescue, precise tracking, and the neutralisation of known camps. Currently our troops are too exposed at the bare\u00a0 battle fronts. The president likes to talk about church\u00a0 rats and poisoned holy communion. Every bandit who collects ransom must suffer the fate of a rat that\u00a0 has consumed poisoned communion.<\/p>\n

Third, choke the criminal economy. Once citizens are legally empowered to defend themselves and the state has improved its rescue and tracking capacity, outlaw ransom payments \u2014 beginning with government officials and institutions. The endless flow of money from private and public purses into bandit coffers is what sustains and expands the kidnapping industry. This will be painful. Some victims may be killed when ransoms are refused. But the alternative \u2014 a permanent, expanding ransom economy that funds insurgency and terror \u2014 is already destroying the country and will claim far more lives in the long run.<\/p>\n

Every new measure carries risks. A carefully regulated liberalisation of rifle ownership for vetted citizens could lead to isolated abuses or even mass shootings by deranged individuals. Hiring better foreign expertise has its own complications. But without them Mali would have long been overrun . Refusing ransoms may provoke initial\u00a0 retaliatory killings. But ultimately it will disincentivise it . The present situation is already intolerable. The horses have bolted. Criminals already possess military-grade weapons. The law that was meant to protect law-abiding people now only handcuffs them while leaving the wicked free.<\/p>\n

Mr President, the time for half-measures and recycled excuses has passed. Vet responsible citizens and communities. Allow them to buy and own rifles for their defence. That is where meaningful change must begin.<\/p>\n
