Who Is Sending The Guns to Nigeria

Dear reader,

Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother my readers with this disturbing material if not for two reasons.

One is the fast unfolding situation in the country and its current state of insecurity. I feel it is the responsibility of the press to inform Nigerians, as much as possible, such that the nation is either rescued by its vigilance or destroyed its complicity and inaction.

Two, its message is coming from a neutral source, from a foreigner who is not a native of Nigeria. With the umpire adjudged impartial, his verdict, even if it does not differ from ours, stands a better chance of acceptance.

Safe journey!
