Boko Haram: S-East govs task Northern leaders

By KINGSLEY OMONOBI AND TONY EDIKE

ENUGU- THE five governors of South East, Sunday, called on stakeholders in the northern part of the country to tackle the current wave of insecurity in the region arising from the violent activities of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram just as Minister of Police Affairs has summoned the Inspector-General of Police and the top police hierarchy to a security meeting over Boko Haram.

Gov Kashim Shettima of Borno State has also said that the government will provide the military Joint Task Force, JTF with rules of engagement to discourage soldiers from breaking the rights of the people. The governor had earlier accused the JTF of excesses during their operations to counter Boko Haram uprising.



Speaking with British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC Sunday, Governor Shettima expressed opposition to the calls for the withdrawal of soldiers from the streets of Maiduguri, while appealing to the residents who were trooping out of the state not to leave. He also urged Boko Haram to lay down their arms and open up lines of communication, saying the government was ready to meet their reasonable demands.

Meanwhile, human rights activist, Mr Femi Falana has called for the prosecution of immediate past governor of Borno State, Mallam Modu Sheriff for his alleged involvement in the extra-judicial killing of Bako Haram leaders.

Rising from a one-day meeting in Enugu, the Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum and Governor of Anambra Sate, Mr. Peter Obi urged the stakeholders in the north to do everything possible to tackle the current security challenges in the zone.

The governor, who did not give details of their discussion at the meeting, stated that the brief meeting, as usual, deliberated on issues affecting the zone.

“It is a very short meeting and we discussed issues affecting the South East geopolitical Zone. We are committed in working together,” Obi added.

The meeting was attended by governors of Enugu, Anambra, Imo and Ebonyi states. Abia State governor, Theodore Orji was absent at the meeting.

Minister summons IG, top Police hierarchy to security meeting

Following the frightening security situation in the country occasioned by the Boko Haram bombings and attacks in parts of the country, the new Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Captain Caleb Olubolade (rtd) has summoned crucial security meeting with the Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim and the top hierarchy made up of DIG’s and AIG’s at Force Headquarters, Abuja, today.

The meeting, according to Vanguard’s investigation, will deliberate on concrete steps to be put in place by the Police towards checkmating the menace of terrorism and restore confidence in the citizenry. It is also to re-assure the people that the Police is up to the task of tackling the Boko Haram threat.

Vanguard was told that the meeting which is the first since Olubolade assumed office a week ago, will signpost the direction the minister intends to go, especially as Olubolade’s reappointment and deployment from FCTA to the Police ministry underscored President Jonathan’s resolve to tackle police challenges headlong.

It was further learnt that the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Police Affairs, Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji and some critical directors will be in attendance at the meeting which will also find ways of fine-tuning the police operational methods.

The precarious financial situation of the force which is threatening to disrupt Police operations nationwide, will also be discussed Vanguard was told.

Ndigbo have always believed in Onye aghala Nwanne ya. As a result, Ndigbo have numerous town unions in Borno state and this town unions have played a great role in the evacuation of her people in this troubled region. Ndigbo do not need fed or state govts to come to their rescue. May God continue to bless Ndigbo worldwide.

That is very true. But T.A. Orji to his credit did evacuate Abians as well.

Now you see why Ndigbo are very special. While people from Ekiti, Kwara etc required state or fed govt interventions, Ndigbo through their town unions have transported their people home already.
Now, you see why each morning I wake from my sleep, the first thing I do is to kneel down and thank God for making me Igbo.

i don't see how are they being productive by speaking at the comfort of their homes these people are making the most noise like they have real solutions, why don't they go to borno and speak? let me guess, these govenors don't have the audicity or maybe they'll be too scared (they have a history of adding fear to the people there, with the buses they sent one would think its a all war situation) but they want to add ther cents. they can't even tackle ritualists in ther region and are adding their solutions far from the problem, maybe they can just do us all a favour and shot up

Spit out that rotten gworo you are chewing. What is wrong with what they have done. They are concerned about lives and properties. You always want to comment on anything that deals with Ndigbo in a negative way. If governors from another region had done a similar thing, you will not comment about it. Why are people so bigoted here?.

thats because it seems the south east thinks it has the power to solve everything but has no solutions it can't solve its own internal issue like ritualism, baby factories and that types of things, it was the ibo elders running their mouths on the weekend now it is your governors, maybe you got a big head because the jtf head in the region is from your tribe and you think the ibo holds the key to this problem, thats what you think

i have no problem if the south east has a good solution, but it does not, thats the reality

I do not see how that concerns the SE leaders. They should instead get all Igbos out of the  rough areas of the North and return all northerners in the SE who are from such rough areas in the North back

And there are no ritualists in the North?

Coming here to chat crap is not the solution either, you should be more involved with something like this man in the pic than opening your mouth on issues that has nothing to do with you. Stop it boy.

if you try and look at things, the only governors who have weight in their voice are the northern governors, so tell yoir governors to shut up

nonsense

namfav:

We're also good in employing u beggars as shoe shiners, gatemen, peasant farmers, nail cutters etc.
We're good in dominating the economic activities in ur own land.
We're good in outsmarting u sociopaths with paltry money for onerous task.
We're good in, should i continue?

no one ask for rocha's help
employ your ibo brothers who are into illegal stuffs if you are good at employing,clean your house 1st
good at selling stuff that have expired, fake drugs, spare parts, poisnous cooldrinks, that is your definition of dominance of the economy
considering that you have said you love money so much to the point of illegality like killing your wives (a few days ago a ibo man killed his wife and her mother in kaduna over money) i understand your obsession with money but nothing to brag

^^^ If your kinda paradise consist of fraud,scam,kidnapping,counterfeiting of drugs and anything to deceive a victim and international bad name then you need a rethink. Tribalism and arrogance kills.By the way i see your location is Kano?Is that you Igbo village or you just like being around useless people your tribe is the useless one sha

This is the kind of argument that just annoys me and when i get involve they say alj harem is anti-igbo

ferderick:

A silly n useless northerner has just spoken. You can go 2 hell.D only tin u fit do is carry bombs 4 body enter where your fellow northern dey n detonate am.If u bokorians dare try that here,we go use 2 by 2 purlin wood knack u till u die.

Foolishness sometimes is not good, for the bold you think those governors are humans? how are they different from their northern counterpart? All of them thieves have nothing to offer you, better learn how to progress your life without thinking of those goose.

so baby factories, cannibalist cults, kidnapping for money, 419, public corruption etc. will disappear?

They are lending their voices to a good cause and THIS is all you can come up with? I'm trying very hard to understand your point. Abi are you in SUPPORT OF BOKO HARAM? Because in a civilised scenario you would have been in support of any calls for peace.

Abeg drop your own two cents. I dey wait

Namfav, i can plumb that u've been intellectually crippled by polio, which is prevalent in ur cave, for u to come here to unabashedly call igbos cannibals when u i.d.iots are currently enjoying ur annual anniversary(killing and maiming of guests). What i meant by economic dominance is teaching u pathetic fools how to build mansions without palmfronds, how to bring children into the world without sending into the world of suffering via almajiri, how to do ur business without walking hopelessly walking around the street in search of nails to clip, how to stand on ur own without moving from house to house in search of leftover foods etc.
The last time that i checked nigeria was blacklisted as a terrorist nation by many countries of the world when and im.be.c.i.l.e from ur area attempted to bomb innocent souls, in the name of fighting for that torpid coward (allah) that u guys worship.

i have no problem with what you think, it is your opinion and i am not entitled to explain anything and however you will never chane anything on the ground because you are not significant, let the knowledgeful deal with any ill
