"Would the ill-trained, trigger-happy Nigerian security operatives perceive the President's statement same way?" (CAO)

Good question, Chid! They have shot and killed young men a few miles away from my neighborhood in the last 72 hours. These folks don't have time to analyze anyone's order, let alone that of the President. There's a good reason Fela christened them "Zombie." No, Ashafa, we can't think for them; they are not your average rational beings like you and I.
