My daughter-in-law, currently on National Youth Service in Nigeria had cause to go to the Ojo Barracks of the Nigerian Army on Friday last week. As she was about to exit, one soldier sighted a black sack in the boot of the car. He demanded to see the content. She obliged.
On inspection of the sack, the “officer and gentleman” found branded tee-shirts and fez caps belonging to Christian Men’s Network Nigeria. Now satisfied that the contents were neither arms nor explosives nor contrabands, you would have thought that that was the end of the matter. But, the soldier thought differently. Ignoring all protests, he helped himself to three of the caps, worth N1,500.
While it is certainly not cost-effective to pursue the retrieval of the stolen caps, I wish to place this incident in the public place in case of any abuse of the cap by persons who are not members of the network. CMNN members are spirit-filled disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, who are responsible citizens. I cannot say the same for the unknown people now in unauthorized possession of the three caps.
