The Governor of Borno State,
Kashim Shettima, has revealed that the destruction of the dens of Boko Haram in
Sambisa forest was made possible by an Igbo man.
The Governor said this during a
town hall meeting for the military and security agencies at the Government
House, Maiduguri, on Monday.
Shettima further thanked the
Buhari-led administration for making sure that peace finally returns to Borno
state.
He urged all Nigerians to join
hands in supporting the Federal Government and the military to end Boko Haram
completely.
He pointed out that once the
rainy season sets in, Sambisa Forest becomes an impregnable fortress of Boko
Haram Insurgents.
“This is a great day; a day for
celebration. Four years ago, 20 of the 27 local government areas of the state
were under the control of Boko Haram.
“Then, the only accessible road
to Maiduguri was Kano-Maiduguri Road. If there are any people who are the
greatest beneficiaries of this feat, it is Borno State.
“Interestingly, this
accomplishments were made possible by an Igbo from Mbaise, Imo State. The
Operation Lafia Dole has been able to penetrate all corners of Sambisa Forest
and chased Boko Haram away.”
This is security issue. Don't tribalise it and do not turn bokoraham against Ibgo. Members of the nigerian armed forces should be simple be described as NIGERIANS not with any tribal coloration
