Borno Elders Join Call On FG To Withdraw JTF

As the security situation in Borno State deteriorates, a Committee of Elders and Leaders of Thought has joined the various appeals on the Federal Government to immediately withdraw armed soldiers from the streets of Maiduguri and environs.

In the press statement, dated 12 July, the Committee accused the soldiers of arson, murder, looting and raping of young girls.

It described as “grossly misplaced and shuttered,” the government’s calculation that the intervention of the military in the conflict might bring the situation under control.

The Committee said that the presence of thousands of weapon brandishing soldiers on the streets of Maiduguri has turned the situation into the worst nightmare Maiduguri has ever seen, with the soldiers shooting and killing hundreds of youth for no reason other than that they are young people.

The Committee also had a message for the Boko Haram militants. “We call on the members of members of the Ahlus Sunnah lid da’awati wal jihaad (Yaanaa) to please see the current human suffering of fellow Muslims and look for alternative ways of pursuing their demand.”

It also asked the government to go into “honest and positive dialogue” with the militants as they have already made their demands public.
