IJAW YOUTH COUNCIL WARNS BOKO HARAM

 

The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, has condemned the
attack on the Department of the State Security
Service, DSS in Abuja, saying the attack close to
the Presidential Villa where President Jonathan and
his family reside is a threat on the life of the
President....
The IYC said it would use every means within its
disposal to resist any attempt on or threat to the
life of President Goodluck Jonathan, warning the
sponsors of Boko Haram that the latest attack is a''
joke taken too far''.
''The IYC regards the attack very close to the
Presidential Villa, housing President Goodluck
Jonathan and his family as a threat to the life of
Mr. President. We wish to warn the sponsors of
Boko Haram that this is a joke taken too far. The
IYC would vehemently resist any attempt on or
threat to the life of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Nigeria cannot survive any attempt on the life of
President Jonathan. Boko Haram members and
their sponsors are warned!''
A statement signed by the the Spokesman of IYC,
Eric Omare said that the conflicting accounts of the
attack clearly shows that it is another case of
sabotage against the government of President
Goodluck Jonathan.
''The IYC strongly believes that there are saboteurs
within the Nigeria security forces who are actively
aiding the activities of Boko Haram. There is no
explanation for Boko Haram members having the
effrontery to confront security agencies for more
than three hours at the heavily fortified DSS
headquarters very close to the Presidential Villa,
nation’s seat of power''.
The IYC noted the complicity of some security
agents in the attacks by Boko Haram, and called on
President Jonathan to the security agencies to
identity Boko Haram moles within the security
agencies and fish them out immediately.
'' Therefore, the IYC calls on the Commander in
Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan to carry out a
massive overhaul of the security agencies to
identity Boko Haram moles within the security
agencies and fish them out immediately. The IYC
wish to warn that no nation can win a battle
whether against terrorism or of any kind in a
situation in which the insurgents are actively aided
by insiders. History tells us that infiltration of
enemies into an opponent’s camp has led to
nations losing war''.
