The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has tongue-lashed North-East politicians who have been accused of subverting the war against Boko Haram insurgents, who have over the years, wreaked havoc on the North-East and parts of the North.
It would be recalled that the Army had last week raised the alarm that prominent politicians and groups from the North-East had been meeting to reverse the gains already recorded in the fight against terrorists in the area by the military.
The Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col Sani Usman had said that, “there is information of plans by some highly placed individuals and political groups to undermine and scuttle the fight against terrorism and insurgency in this country. The unscrupulous individuals and their cohorts are determined to reverse the gains made and scuttle our efforts of achieving the Presidential directive to defeat Boko Haram terrorists within three months.”
Expressing shock on why this would be the case, the ACF, in a statement on Sunday in Kaduna, demanded a thorough investigation into the allegation and asked the military to expose all those behind such nefarious acts.
Signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim, the forum in the statement noted that the northern body considered those behind such devilish act as simply “wicked.”
