Boko Haram: Support Military, BBOG Group Tells Nigerians

The BringBackOurGirls group has called on Nigerians to rally behind the military and security agencies in the fight against insurgency, so that the fight against insurgency can be won.

Speaking at the group’s sit-out yesterday, one of the members of the group, Shehu Abubakar stated that the fight against insurgency would progress only when Nigerians support the military adding that the welfare of the military should be paramount.
He stated that in other parts of the world, countries win wars against militancy and insurgency when there is cooperation within the communities where the fight is going on.
The group also called for improved welfare of the military in prosecuting the war against insurgency, while urging the military to intensify efforts towards intelligence gathering in order to be ahead of the insurgents.
Recall that the leader of the group, Dr Oby Ezekwesili had called for more intelligence and increased strategy in order for the military to tackle insurgency and win the war against the Boko Haram insurgents.
Dr Ezekwesili, who made the call through her twitter handle, noted that she believes in the ability of the military to handle the insurgency and called for more intelligence gathering in order to achieve this.
She further noted that continuous sympathy and empathy for the people who lost their lives or for the families of those who lost their lives will not stop their pains, rather, every hand should be on deck to stop the menace of insurgency.
According to her, “Condolence does nothing to assuage our fellow citizens. I don’t want to have to say ‘be comforted’ to another family again. Let it end. I am positive that Nigeria will win and see the end of these terror strikes. The almighty plus a reinvigorated strategy anchored on intelligence. The three game changers for the bomb blasts are intelligence, more intelligence and even more intelligence.”
