National Conference Delegate Says Boko Haram Plan To Attack 50 Towns In Borno
A delegate of the ongoing National Conference
yesterday said according to the information he
possessed Boko Haram insurgents plan to attack
more than 50 towns/villages of Borno State.
Ibrahim Bunu did not disclose the sources of the
information, however he mentioned that he got it in
a telephone talk, Punch reports. The official urged
authorities to enhance security in Borno and around
Nigeria in general.
Meanwhile the former minister of information Edwin
Clark, who also takes part in the conference, called
for additional date to enable thorough discussion of
Boko Haram problem at the executive session. In
response, the conference management said the
matter would be discussed June 26 in a closed-door
meeting.
Another member Saidu Dansadau lamented that
data provided by Bunu require immediate discussion,
without being put off till the next day.
It would be recalled that despite the emergency rule,
which was months ago declared and then prolonged
in Borno, the state has witnessed one of the most
cruel attacks within the latest months. One of them
is the abduction of over 250 school girls by Boko
Haram insurgents from Chibok school.
While the Nigerian military and security agencies
actively fight terrorism in the state, the bloody
attacks continue, with violence feared to be
spreading on other areas.
Only this week several states have been affected by
deadly attacks launched by gunmen
in southern
Kaduna, the country capital Abuja, the troubled Borno
and Adamawa states.
