The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union has raised alarm that that the Tuesday invasion of the Nigerian Defence Academy is a plot by President Muhammadu Buhari to turn Nigeria into another Afghanistan.
Speaking on the matter, SOKAPU noted that if nothing is done on the current attack, Buhari’s regime might be rehearsing a “script.”
The spokesman for SOKAPU, Luka Binniyat, said in an interview with newsmen that the impunity and daring way in which the attack was carried out without any casualties on the part of the invaders pointed to a more serious danger to Nigeria’s democracy.
He stated, “This attack, the killing of two officers and the kidnapping of another one at the NDA, to be honest, did not come to SOKAPU as a surprise at all. This is because even the barracks of the Command and Staff College, Jaji, which is between Zaria and Kaduna, has been invaded a few times this year by the same armed men, who went away with cattle and other loot.
Binniyat warned that if drastic measures were not taken to apprehend the armed men, there could be a repeat of the situation in Afghanistan in Nigeria.
“The President’s past words, actions and controversial policies show that he may not mind transferring power to such a crop of extremists.
“Perhaps, this unfortunate and unacceptable development will wake up everyone to the reality that apart from Buhari, his governors and maybe, service chiefs, we are all sitting ducks in the hands of outlaws, who may be executing a sinister agenda to take over Nigeria.
“We are calling on all moderate Muslims, all Christians and all men of honour and courage to stand in unity and denounce this shameful development and call Buhari and Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State to take their primary responsibility seriously before we sink lower than we have ever imagined.”
