averted yesterday morning when some armed soldiers stormed Ijeh Police Barracks in Obalende, Lagos, to evict police officers and men living there.
However, the situation was said to have been brought under control after the soldiers cleverly withdrew from the barracks with a vow to come again. A source, who spoke to Vanguard on the condition of anonymity, said, “We were in our quarters when we saw some soldiers laying siege to our barracks. We don’t know who gave them such orders. They took over our gate very early in the morning and they were harassing our wives going out for their business and the next thing they told us was that they had a court order asking us to vacate the barracks.
Another school of thought is of the view that the most pressing issue before the country and Nigerians is not an anthem, but daily survival. “It shows that we are not serious and we are getting our priorities wrong. Apart from the serious economic challenges facing the country, insecurity has not abated.
“I heard that some people, out of annoyance, are saying they won’t learn or sing the new anthem, that is wrong”, he said. However, the use of projectors came in handy to assist the gathering in singing the two remaining stanzas without much trouble.
