Terrorism can be defined in a modern English as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”. Logically, the above definition defines who really Kashim Shettima was. A terror under government immunity. A terror commanding government forces. And, a terror governing a terrorism-free nation.
Considering the predicament, plight, quandary, muddle and the mare situation Shettima subjected his people to, the hunger, neglect, underserved hardship, while enriching his less than decent self under the pretense of ‘fight against terrorism’- Shettima supposed to be rotten and grilled by the anti-graft agencies by now. Please, who is fighting who? Isn’t it the worst terrorism act to left your people in such a pathetic condition that’ll further encourage them to carry arms against the state in the absence of basic needs to the needy? What’s Kashim Shettima’s plan to engage the thousands of the street roamers in his state?
What the governor was doing is the unlawful use of power (force) by instigating violence amongst the people to coerce the civilians in furthering and widening of his political empire. Let me break it down for you; the use of power by hiring-and-firing who he wishes and against the people’s wish through the use of harassment, intimidation and threat to subdue the powers of civilians to act in a proper and legal lane. It’s no longer a surprise to be tagged a Boko Haram or their sponsor once you oppose the governor’s say.
