DR. FREDERICK FASEHUN, HAS CALLED FOR THE REMOVAL OF MILITARY OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF THE BOKO HARAM CAMPAIGN
Dr. Frederick Fasehun Founder, Oodua Peoples Congress has called for the removal of military officers in charge of the Boko Haram.
Addressing newsmen in Lagos on the state of the nation, Fasehun said President Muhammadu Buhari should mandate the military to end Boko Haram insurgency within six months.
In his address, he said “The war of attrition unleashed by Boko Haram against defenceless citizens throughout the country continues unabated, nullifying Buhari’s campaign promise to end insurgency immediately after he took over power. But the reality indicates that Boko Haram inflicts as many damages as before, with bombings, abductions and suicide squads going unabated.
“President Buhari should sack military officers currently in charge of the Boko Haram campaign and mandate the defence team to end Boko Haram insurgency within six months.
Fasehun added that the Federal Government should map out a workable road map to end the insurgency.
“Reports from soldiers and officers on the field indicated that Boko Haram could be wiped out easily but for colluding military commanders who want the campaign prolonged for selfish commercial benefits,” Fasehun said.
The founder, however, urged the Federal Government to comply with the global index that allegedly ranked Fulani herdsmen as a terrorist organisation and ensure that the herdsmen pay for their crimes.
