As information filtering out of Maiduguru in Borno state indicates that nine military officers allegedly linked to Boko Haram terrorists reportedly escaped on Monday from a military guardroom at Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri, Borno State, the pro-democracy and civil rights advocacy group HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) has condemned the criminal activity of letting out such a high value suspects at a time that the nation is gripped by the threats of the United States of American government’s threats to unleash military airstrikes targeting Islamic Terrorists like Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP. HURIWA believes that if the report is factually accurate, then there is more to it than meets the eyes. It means that there is a high network of conspiratorial plots from the topmost echelons of the command structures and these collaborators and saboteurs of the war on terror must be identified, arrested, prosecuted for treason and jailed for life.”<\/p>\n
Just as military sources reportedly confirmed to the jailbreak to SaharaReporters, the New York based online medium, the HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (HURIWA) has tasked the Chief of Defence Staff General Olufemi Oluyede and the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu to take the matter as a high priority case and to go after the escapees just as the commander charged with securing their detention should be immediately suspended and all those who participated in aiding and abetting their disappearances must be arrested and prosecuted for sabotaging the counter terrorism war in Nigeria. “If this is true, it means that the claims made by the Borno state governor Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, of the existence of saboteurs of the war on terror within the Nigeria Army is much deeper than we are all contemplating.”<\/p>\n
The Rights group stated that although the Nigerian Army is yet to react to the development at the time the media filed this report, the escapees were alleged to be involved in arms trafficking to terrorist groups operating in Nigeria\u2019s North-East just as it was gathered that reports of the jailbreak have led to serious concerns within Nigeria\u2019s security sector.<\/p>\n
The civil society organization HURIWA expressed disappointment that saboteurs embedded within the nation’s military circles ochestrated the ugly development just few days after President Bola Tinubu appointed new service chiefs as a way to pass a message that they are invincible but the Civil Rights advocacy Group HUMAN RIGHTS WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA stated that allowing these important and strategic suspects who sabotaged the war on terror to escape without being caught on time, it therefore means that there is the urgency of the moment to review the entire spectrum of military operations against Boko Haram terrorists given that their informants and suppliers of weapons have successfully penetrated the military institution which is a very big shame.<\/p>\n
“When we call for heads to roll, we truly mean that many bad eggs must be immediately weeded out of the Army given that they are actually undermining the National security of the corporate entity of Nigeria. It is time for a transparent overhauling of the security operations against terrorists in the Country.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
