Who is this unidentified gunman walking the streets of Abuja with AK47 ? The Expose news gathered from reliable sources that the man was caught around the streets of Maraba, a suburb in the Federal Capital. The sight which sent onlookers scampering for safety failed to draw the attention of our usually crack security operatives. Observers wondered if this is not a sign that Nigeria is edging closer to the precipice judging from the apparent indifference of security agencies to this dangerous spectacle. "This is sign of danger" a man interviewed by our reporters stated. Said he: " This should not happen in a civilized society; we must show that there is a government in place; we must show commitment to lapses in security matters like this.". According to him, somebody should be held accountable for security breeches like this which jeopardizes life and property. He said Nigeria have had enough of this somnolent drift. In a related development, the Miyetti Allah group reportedly came out to warn Nigerians not to challenge some strange herdsmen reportedly from Mali who migrated illegally into the country and are sighted wandering aimlessly around some farmlands in the North East and Central of Nigeria with AK 47 rifles. In the same vein, Kaduna State Governor El-Rufai was allegedly quoted to have suggested that PDP had in their last rally in Sokoto, imported people from Niger Republic. Worse is the conflicting statements from Key security personnel's, the one defending the "fake Malians" as grazers and insisting that they should not be disturbed while the other branded them as suspects for entering the country illegally. Herein lies the dark clouds hovering around the country!
