In a viral reaction to recent security claims, Omoyele Sowore has affirmed that the Nigerian Government maintains close ties with bandits and terrorists.
Supporting Sheikh Gumi’s recent interview, Sowore suggested that the ongoing insecurity persists because the people in power are "in bed" with the perpetrators.
Sowore claims that when mass kidnappings happen, officials know exactly which "friend" in Katsina or Niger to call to start negotiations.
He suggested that while the public sees terrorists as ghosts, the security agencies see them as acquaintances who sometimes act as "MCs" at private naming ceremonies.
Sowore believes Gumi is not a "foolish man" but a calculated one who is being honest about the government's proximity to armed groups.
The core of Sowore’s message is that the war on terror is not a matter of "finding" the enemy, but a matter of the government deciding to stop protecting them.
