A former Senate leader, Ali Ndume (APC, Borno) has urged security agencies to intensify efforts on two identified black spots of the Boko Haram insurgents in Borno State.
Reacting to the weekend killing of scores in the outskirt of Damboa town in Damboa local government area of Borno state, he said reports showed that the insurgents were operating from two bases.
In a statement he issued in Saudi Arabia where he went to perform lesser hajj, he said, if the military strike at the areas, the insurgents would be tamed.
The lawmaker said the two bases as reported include Damboa/Gwoza/Chibok axis and Lake Chad axis.
He said these were reported to be the operational bases of the insurgents.
“We are appealing to the military to intensify operation on the darkest spots in Borno state where the insurgents are said to be carrying out their operations from.
“These two spots are reported to be Damboa/Gwoza axis and the Lake Chad axis. It is suspected and reported that Abubakar Shekau, a factional leader of the sect is operating from the Chibok axis while the Mamman Nur’s group operates from the Lake Chad axis,e” he said.
He said if the military visitd the bases of the insurgents with superior firepower, the insurgents would be defeated.
“They should clear the two bases for us to have peace. These are the two reported and known bases of the insurgents in Borno state,” he said.
