With the abduction of theChibok girls,President Goodluck Jonathan has
refused to exchange the girls for the imprisoned Boko Haram members as
was stated by the leader of Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau who made
an order demanding a swap of some of the abducted girls for boko haram
members held in government prisons.
In March 2014, 20 Boko Haram suspects detained at the department of
state security service, Asokoro-Abuja were killed by the agent for
attempting a jail break.
Also on the 13th of May,2014,residents of kalabage village in Borno
state who were frustrated by Boko Haram attack,killed over 200 of
them,arrested 10 of them and handed them over to the security agents.
Also on the 14th of April,2014,Nyanya bomb perpetrators were arrested
through the efforts of interpol,Nigeria police and department of state
security service. Having a good number of Boko Haram suspects in
prison and their continuous arrest, I can fully say that the
government are trying their best in putting to an end this Boko Haram
saga.
The question that begs for urgent answer is who are the sponsors of
Boko Haram? The ruling party (PDP) has severally accused the All
Progressive Congress (APC) in this direction. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
also concurs on the fact that boko haram Is the brainchild of
unscrupulous politicians.
This insurgents and terrorists claim to abhor western education but
make use of products of this education system. If they are sure and
fully know that they want to put a stop to western education, they
should have as their first priority,the issues of not using products
of western education.
Finally, this Boko Haram saga could be put to an end through dialogue
and roundtable conference and practicing their religious reforms on
their own not involving the general public, if they think western
education is a sin.
