Human rights activist, Mrs. Aisha
Wakil, popularly called Mama Boko Haram, has advised the Federal
Government to engage those who can talk to the insurgents so as to get them to
stop their attacks.
Wakil, who insisted that Boko
Haram will not surrender to anybody in “air conditioned” rooms, advised the
authorities to act fast.
She made the suggestion in a chat
with Punch on the recent kidnap of Dapchi schoolgirls.
“I will tell the Federal
Government, please, they should please put their feet on the ground, come down.
There are people these boys respect, there are people they hear their voices,
they should get in touch with those people”, she said.
“I might not be the only one, I
might not even be part of it. I don’t care; my own is just to scream the way I
am screaming. And if I get them, I tell them, my son, you are not hearing what
is happening.
“They know the name they call me.
So they should calm down. Or is it that they don’t want to look for them or
they believe that by staying somewhere in air-conditioned rooms, the boys will
just start coming?
“Someone has to come down, talk
to them, they will do their talking to them too in the bush, you will see. You
know, there are questions they will ask. You will see them start coming (out).”
Reminded that Chibok
schoolgirls’ kidnap, like the Dapchi incident, occurred close to election
periods, the activists replied: “You just hit the nail (on the head).”
“You know, in Nigeria, they know
how to destabilise human beings; they are good and they are bad. Only Allah in
heaven knows the innermost part of human beings. Politics is around the corner.
”There was a time I told you
that the boys said they would not allow us. Who are those ‘they’? Those ‘they’,
you know, they are human beings. I don’t know.”
Asked if Boko Haram leader, Shekau has been killed or not
as the government claimed at different times. Wakil responded: “Please ask
Gen. (Tukur) Buratai”.
This woman is a security threat to Nigeria she should be arrested and interrogated.
