A video of Nigerian military personnel harassing an individual for wearing camouflage sparked outrage, with one user commenting, “To fight insecurity now it is wahala, to abuse an harmless man their preeq go dey strong.” This comment highlights the public frustration with the perceived misdirection of power by security forces. Instead of focusing on combating insecurity and real threats, the military’s energies are seen as being misused to intimidate harmless civilians over minor issues like fashion choices.
Such actions not only damage the trust between the military and the public but also distract from the urgent issues of national security. The comment reflects a broader sentiment that resources should be better allocated to addressing insecurity, rather than unnecessary acts of intimidation against ordinary citizens.
