The Federal Government Administrative Committee of Enquiry into the Jos riot chaired by Major General Emmanuel Abisoye (rtd.) has scotched the snake but not killed it. Hopefully this time around this report would not be shoved under the rug waiting for another riot to erupt.

It is already known that hired guns as in the past were use by some religious fanatics and bigots to cause havoc in Nigeria. There are some unanswered questions:

a. Who brought in these hired religious machineries? b. How did they get into the country? Was the ECOWAS privilege broken? c. Should the Culprits be tried for treason alongside their machineries? d. What lesson is out there to learn from this ugly experience? e. Isn't time to declare Nigeria a Secular Society where everyone has the right to live out his/her God's given potential without fear of religious persecution?

Nigeria is too big, too advanced, too smart and too wealthy to be held hostage by bandits and religious fanatics.
