A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the assassination of a former Provost Marshal of the Nigerian Army, Major General Hassan Ahmed on Thursday.
Ahmed was killed by unidentified gunmen in Abuja while his sister was abducted.
The Nigerian Army confirmed the incident in a statement on Friday.
According to the Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, the deceased senior officer will be accorded a befitting burial at the Lungi Barracks Cemetery on Friday.
Reacting to the murder, Omokri said that the government lacked the capacity to protect the citizens.
“An emir was kidnapped last week, and a general was murdered yesterday. Think about it. Who then is safe?
“Our only security in Nigeria is God. Our government lacks both the will and the capacity to protect us. Anybody can be killed at anytime in any part of Nigeria!,” he wrote on Twitter.
