Lagos - The All Progressives
Congress (APC) on Sunday called
for an international inquiry into
the activities of the Boko Haram
sect.
In a statement issued in Lagos
on Sunday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the APC said that the
inquiry would help to determine
those who might have links with
the insurgents and unravel its
mode of operation.
“The inquiry will end once and
for all, the debate over who is
behind the insurgency and also
to facilitate efforts to tackle it
decisively.”
“The inquiry should include
intelligence experts from the US,
UK, France and Canada, as well as
representatives of the UN and
Nigeria's neighbours Cameroon,
Chad and Niger,” it stated.
It also suggested that some
specific groups be members of
the panel of inquiry.
“Representatives of the Nigerian
military and other security
agencies, especially the police
and the Departments of State
Security, Governments of the
states worst-hit by the Boko
Haram insurgency, including
Adamawa, Borno, Yobe, Kano,
Bauchi and Jigawa, the Federal
Capital Territory should be part
of the panel.”
“Also the Christian Association of
Nigeria, the Supreme Council for
Islamic Affairs, Civil Society
Organisations, the Nigeria
Labour Congress, the Trade
Union Congress, National Human
Rights Commission, the Nigerian
Bar Association and any other
relevant individuals or groups
should be included,” it further
stated.
APC also stated that major
political parties, including the PDP
and the APC must be represented
on the panel of inquiry.
It said findings of the inquiry
must be made public and those
found to have any links with the
insurgents be made to face the
full wrath of the law.
The party pledged its total
support for the inquiry anytime
it is launched.
“Enough is enough. The daily
killing, maiming and abduction
of innocent Nigerians, must
end,” it added.
