On the other hand,terrorists killed in action have no place in Valhalla.
In Norse mythology,Valhalla is a majestic & glorious hall reserved for fallen heroes who fought gallantly. No terrorists belongs to this class of warriors

According to BBC Hausa, bandits under the leadership of Kachallah Dan-Sadiya kidnapped 2 staff and 7 students (one later escaped) from Federal Poly Kauran Namoda in Zamfara. They have been in captivity for over 2 months. They extorted N10m from the first lecturer and N12m from the second. They refused to release them and demanded N150m.
One of the lecturers, Williams Daddy, was killed some days ago after collecting N10m from his relatives. 6 students and 1 lecturer are still in captivity.

Bandits invaded the community of a friend of mine in Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The first time they struck, they targeted a family known for its successful businesses. They succeeded in kidn@pping two members of the family, and after several painful weeks in captivity, a huge ransom was paid to secure their freedom.
The attack left the entire community shaken. Fear spread across the land, and many people wondered who would be next.
But rather than surrender to fear, the community decided to act.
A series of meetings was convened to discuss the future of their ancestral homeland. Calls went out to every son and daughter of the community—politicians, business moguls, professionals, and other well-to-do indigenes at home and abroad.
They came together with a common purpose.
Not for celebrations.
Not for publicity.
Not for social prestige.
But for the protection of their people and the preservation of their homeland.
Resources were pooled. AK 47. Pump Actions. Assaut Rifles. Live Amunitions. Were all purchased.
Local security structures were strengthened.
Vigilantes, hunters, and community volunteers were better organized. Experienced individuals, including a retired soldier, offered their knowledge to train and guide to improve the community's readiness and coordination.
Months later, the bandits returned.
Confident from their earlier success, they entered the community under the cover of darkness, shooting at streetlights in an attempt to create panic and confusion.
This time, however, they met a community that was alert, organized, and prepared.
Resistance came from multiple directions. Bullets flew in torrents. The attackers were forced into a fierce confrontation. Some were k!lled, while others sustained injuries before retreating into the surrounding forests.
Since that encounter, the community has enjoyed a level of peace it had not experienced in a long time. The fear that once gripped the land gradually gave way to confidence, normalcy, and progress.
The lesson is not to promote violence. Rather, it is that communities that unite, organize, invest in their security, and work collectively are often better positioned to resist those who seek to térrorize them.
When people set aside their differences and come together for a common cause, they can achieve what once seemed impossible.
Security is not sustained by hope alone. It requires vigilance, cooperation, leadership, and a shared commitment to protecting the places we call home. If the government cannot give us total protection, we should stand up and defend ourselves.
