ALL COMMUNITIES IN NIGERIA NEED A MILITIA
Every community in Nigeria, particularly those in isolated bush areas need a militia or first responders. This group, like the Boys scouts will be residents of the community and will be available 24/7 to attend to the immediate needs of the community. A majority of Nigerians live in rural areas and the police force is not capable or willing to address the issues of surprise attacks on these communities or emergency situations.
This group will be completely native to the community and care about the survival of the community.
Such a group will receive adequate training by the police in the use of firearms and must be armed. The group will be made up of members of the community within the age of 18 and probably 40. The group will be a volunteer group and will be non salaried. It shall exist solely for the protection of the community.
Each member of the group will be trained in the use of firearms. However, the penalty of using firearms indiscriminately and for purposes other than emergency cases shall be very stiff. Each member shall be further trained in rescue operations, firefighting, taking care of accident victims, etc. The day and night security of the community shall be vested on these individuals. Each member of the group will be cleared by the Nigeria security agents as having no criminal background, mentally stable and of high moral character. Each firearm issued to each member will be carefully monitored by the police. This group will respond to emergency situations only and not be used as night watchmen or guards.
With the presence of this kind of group, surprise attacks on a community will be averted. All people planning surprise attacks on isolated communities do this with the realization that a community is totally defenseless, particularly at night. A community that has a group to watch over it and its property will really not be attacked in the first place. People attacking others while they sleep are cowards and would not want to get into armed confrontation with a trained and armed body.
All Nigerian communities: BE REALLY PREPARED!!
