“Let our people come out to speak out that the unknown G0nmen are not really unknown G0nmen, they are our young men and women who will defend our land tomorrow; they should stop giving themselves to be killed.

“Let our people stop confronting the security agencies. Without burning properties of the government, there will be no need for the deployment of security operatives and when they are deployed, you cannot tell them how to do the job when they are confronted with death.

“A lot of them have lost their lives; they have families. We have to also know that the lives of the security operatives are the lives of our brothers and sisters, we are k!lling ourselves and it should stop.”
