‘Same happened when govt didn’t defend Itsekiris against Ijaws, they armed themselves and ended the war. It’s called balance of terror’

‘Those attacking me don’t know English. I only called for self-defence. If no one attacks them then there will be peace. FG should do its job’ And today he tweeted

‘Southern Kaduna youths have threatened self defense if neglect continues. Is anyone listening?’ Fani-Kayode backing the call by Omatseye tweeted that

‘I support @samomatseye’s call on Xtians in southern Kaduna to defend themselves from genocide and his appeal to CAN to help them.’

‘Self-defence, like self-determination, is a right. Those that take pleasure in mass murder and carnage must be stopped. Enough is enough.’
