Boko Haram terrorists are coming for Southern Nigeria – Activist Aisha Yesufu
Activist and co-convener, Bring Back our Girls (BBOG) campaign, Aisha Yesufu has predicted that after Boko Haram terrorists are done in the North, they would face the south.
Her comments follows the attack on Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State which the notorious terrorist group Boko Haram has claimed responsibility.
She said ” When Boko haram are done with the North they will face the South. If you think this is none of your business, some thought it wasn’t their business when it was happening in North East now it is.
According to Aisha Nigerians should be wary as she said “Terrorist attack to anyone anywhere is terrorist attack to everyone everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Christian Association of Nigeria has called for the closure of boarding facilities in all private and government schools in the Northern part of the country.
The organisation also advised the Federal government to direct the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps to provide protection for schools and colleges nationwide especially in the areas where security appears compromised.
While describing the abduction of 333 students of Government Secondary School, Kankara in Katsina State as “another tragic chapter in the history of the country occasioned by the criminal activities of some hoodlums”, CAN said the criminals operate in Nigeria with impunity “as if our security agencies are on holiday”.
According to CAN, the daring posture of the criminals on the day the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), touched down Katsina State has sent a strong message to him that the security architecture of Nigeria has been compromised under his watch.
The President of CAN, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, stated these in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Adebayo Oladeji, titled, ‘Kankara Abduction: Governments have learnt nothing nrom previous kidnappings – CAN’.
The statement partly read, “The fact that the unfortunate incident happened while the Chief Security Officer of the country and the President, Muhammadu Buhari, is in his home state means these criminals have sent a strong message to him that the security architecture of the country has been compromised under his watch.
“The abduction has also exposed the failure of both the government and the security agencies to learn from the abduction of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in 2014 in Borno State and 110 schoolgirls at the Government Girls’ Science and Technical College in Dapchi, in Yobe State in 2018.
“It also means all stakeholders in the Education sector have learnt nothing from the two historic tragedies despite the fact that our security agencies have failed to secure the release of the remaining Chibok schoolgirls and the only Dapchi schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu, who is still wasting in the den of the terrorists.
“From all indications, our governments are not bothered about the security of the people despite all the killings that are being recorded daily. The President turned down the invitation of the House of Representatives to explain and rob minds with the legislators on the way out of our deplorable security situation in the country.
“What an attitude of ‘I don’t care!’ President Muhammadu Buhari should remember that history is being written about him with the way he is addressing all these security challenges just as we are talking about the Chibok schoolgirls and the Jonathan administration.
