| David Mark now realizes Boko Haram are at war with Nigeria. |
words and wake up to this reality,it shows all along they did not take all these killings and atrocities seriously.
The Senate President David Mark at the senate's plenary session yesterday said:
"Clearly, Boko haram has declared war on this country and we must fight this war with all the resources at our disposal. There is no half measure in it. Its not a matter of state of emergency anymore, It is a total war and we must bring all our war resources to bare on Boko Haram" he said.In a related development, the Senate committee on Defence has summoned the Security Chiefs over the security challenges being faced in the North. They are expected to give inventory of weaponry at their disposal when they appear.
Also in another development,The Department of State Security (DSS) in Benue State has said that the forthcoming elections in the state would be bloody unless the illegal arms in circulation are withdrawn.
According to the DSS, the quantity of firearms in circulation in the state which has had a number of farmer-herder clashes recently, is scary and is dangerous to the 2015 elections.
Deputy Director of the Service, Frank Obi, who spoke during a meeting organized by the National Orientation Agency (NOA) in Makurdi, said there is a need to address the issue to ensure a peaceful election next year.
"Nobody is worried about retrieving them. The arms are mostly in the possession of youths and must be totally mopped up in-order for next year’s elections not to be turned into a battle field.” he said.It's just doom and doom all the way,i really hope all these impending trouble never finds its way to flourish,it's indeed worrying times.
