BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – Reports being received indicate that members of the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists have once again attacked Dapchi town in Yobe State.
The development is taking place barely 48 hours after the commemoration of the 2nd anniversary of the abduction of heroine Christian schoolgirl Leah Sharibu, who is still in the captivity of Boko Haram.
According to reports from some of the victims, who returned to the Northeast after commemorating the anniversary in Abuja on Wednesday, the town is currently under siege. No further information is available. Fortunately the Sharibus were not there. Security forces are urged to come to the rescue.
According to international human rights lawyer, Emmanuel Ogebe, “recent revelations that the NSA has lambasted the interference of the Chief of Staff in security affairs, confirms the utter chaos, confusion and dysfunction not just of the war on terror but the government as a whole.
Ogebe said that an unelected cabal that cannot care for and is not accountable to the people of Nigeria, proves that Nigeria is no longer a democracy, stressing that a house divided against itself cannot stand.
The US Based human rights lawyer said that an American source has hinted that if Boko Haram attempts an offensive into the heart of Nigeria, the security structure as presently constituted may be unable to stop them.
