“Sell What You Must, Secure Your Safety” — Mallam Murtala Bello Advises Residents
Mallam Murtala Bello, an Islamic cleric from Sokoto, has sparked reactions after calling on Nigerians to take personal responsibility for their security amid growing concerns over têrror!st attacks and insecurity.
According to him, citizens should consider every available means to protect themselves, even if it requires selling valuable possessions to acquire the tools needed for self-defense, rather than relying solely on government intervention.
The cleric also urged residents not to surrender helplessly to cr!minals, insisting that anyone attempting to forcefully invade homes and threaten lives should be confronted decisively. His remarks have generated widespread debate among Nigerians on the issue of self-defense and national security.
