Nigerian born United States Army Captain has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to suspend every form of gentility and get down with the Boko Haram terrorists group.
He said for the President to win the war
against insurgency, he has to shelve his
gentility and introduce a hard stand. He said
the war against insurgency could be won if the
Federal Government was determined, adding
that there were several ways of wiping out the
sect and stopping the incessant killings. He
added that if the Federal Government was
ready to end Boko Haram today it will be
achieved.
“ Who are those in the sect that dare face the
government? But unfortunately, I suspect there
are some bigwigs behind these people. Mr
President is being too gentle in his handling of
the killings; but unfortunately, it is daily
assuming dangerous dimension; gentility
cannot win the war. Although gentility is not a
crime but Mr President will have to be more
aggressive because this is a security threat to
the entire nation. Mr President will have to take
a stand on the matter either to continue to
tolerate the sect and leave Nigerians to be
mourning every day with the several killings.
Mr President should give a matching order to
the military to wipe them off once and for all.
Not until a strong stand is taken Nigerians
may not be able to sleep with their eyes
closed,” he said.
The U.S army captain, who said the Nigerian
military has been doing a good job in the
troubled states, stated that the military is
fighting unknown faces and faceless groups.
He said to effectively combat the menace, the
Federal government will have to first identify
the cause of the problem, the root, sponsors,
as well as where and how these insurgents get
their weapons.
According to him, the security agencies do not
also understand the terrain they are fighting
the war because most of them are alien to the
battle fields, adding that they know nothing
about the sect, and questioned how they will
fight such war and win.
Adebomi, who revealed that he led over 5,000
U.S. soldiers to war during the Pre-
Mobilisation in 2010, expressed optimism that
the sect could be wiped out. He said the sect
meant nothing to the Nigeria security agencies
if genuine commitment was there adding, all
the military need is the Presidential directive.
The Nigerian born U.S soldier urged Mr.
President to read the riot act to the governors
of the affected states or be made to face the
wrath of the Federal government, noting that
the President could also compel the governors
in the states to account for each soul lost to
the insurgents.
