Insecurity: Imansuagbon backs Gen. Danjuma, urges self defense against attacks

Published

on

Prominent Edo-born legal practitioner, Kenneth Imansuangbon, has asked Nigerians to heed the advice of Rtd General Theophilus Danjuma and defend themselves in the face of growing insecurity and the government’s inability to provide protection.

Imansuangbon, popularly known as the “Rice Man” gave the advice during a press interaction to mark his 59th birthday.

He expressed disappointment at the state of the nation, saying his birthday was not a moment of joy but of sober reflection.

“At 59, I should be celebrating progress, not speaking about government failure. People are being killed, kidnapped, and displaced daily, yet the government appears powerless,” he said.

He criticized what he described as the silence and inability of the Federal and State governments to act in the face of banditry, terrorism, and communal violence.

“The Nigerian state has failed in its primary responsibility to protect lives and property. When the government is silent, the people must not be silent. We must defend ourselves,” he said.

Backing General Danjuma’s call, Imansuangbon said Nigerians must begin to organize local security structures to defend their communities.

“If we don’t defend ourselves, who will? Waiting for Abuja to act is becoming dangerous. We need vigilance groups, neighborhood watch teams, and strong community action,” he added.

He called on lawmakers and state governors to support community-driven defense strategies beyond paper legislation but adequate funding.

“We are not calling for lawlessness. We are calling for action. The Constitution does not say we should fold our arms while criminals take over,” he said.

Imansuangbon charged Nigerians: “Do not give in to fear. Our lives matter. Our families matter. If the government won’t fight for us, we must organized for ourselves with courage, unity, and purpose.”

He added that he is thankful to God for his life journey even as, he said, he looks forward to the future with hope and optimism.
