Below are some reactions.

@ColombusO: Insecurity is Nigeria federal government business

@LawrenceOkoroPG: A very bloody but lucrative business for the politicians

@ontimesam: These people hate western culture, but uses the western weapons, why are they using western guns?

@Bennoker: I hope the COAS has seen this video. What does he have to say since innocent Nigerian in Jos can not protect themselves.

@Oko06796244: I said it before, this guys makes returns, little wonder a whole federal train was ambushed and almost everyone in that train was kidnap for about 60 days or less if am not mistaken, some families paid huge amount of ransome for before their loved ones could be released. Sad as it may, it happened on a federal rail road, still DSS, military intelligence couldn’t traced the kidnap of more than 40 persons . Sounds like a joint operations , make una continue.

@MozezDanielz: They want to give amnesty to all of them for their crimes or good behavior

@GhostofEko: They know their locations and the land they take over from the original owners but leave them to thrive.

@Amaechichinons5: Exactly, I said it before that it’s the government, army and police that’s engineering all the insecurities in Nigeria. They will keep allocating funds for that course but nothing will be done.
