Nnamdi Kanu called Defence Minister Magashi Bashir a comedian Nnamdi Kanu called Defence Minister Magashi Bashir a comedian

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has described Minister of Defence, Magashi Bashir as a "comedian" after a comment the latter made to some Nigerian soldiers fighting the insurgency group, Boko Haram.

The Defence Minister during a visit to the theatre command in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital charged the soldiers in the state not to be afraid of bullets from terrorists.

He said: "The bullets will come and go, if they are not meant to die by a bullet, they would not die, but if they are meant to die by a bullet, even in their bedroom, the bullet will come and reach them, which is what he experienced during his time in service.

His visit at the time was to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Reacting to the comment on social media, Nnamdi Kanu said "Your defense minister is a great comedian. How many of his sons and daughters are in the military?

What benefit awaits your family if anything happens to you as a soldier? How much is your salary compared to his? Common sense is not common...Think?"
