IYC in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Eric Omare, claimed top government and security officials were working for the insurgent group and urged the federal government to fish out the moles.
IYC in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Eric Omare, claimed top government and security officials were working for the insurgent group and urged the federal government to fish out the moles.
The statement said,“We also call on the government officials, led by Hassan Tukur, who claimed to have entered the truce with Boko Haram to explain the circumstances under which the ceasefire agreement was entered into as we believe that the purported agreement was a scam to swindle government. The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), worldwide has watched with dismay the coincidence in the Federal Government announcement of ceasefire with the Boko Haram sect and the renewed attacks being carried out by Boko Haram, which has resulted in killing of hundreds of Nigerians and displacement of several communities.
“The IYC strongly believes that the purported ceasefire agreement is a calculated attempt by Boko Haram agents in the Jonathan administration to divert the attention of government and allow the insurgents to prepare to carry out more deadly attacks. This position is strengthened by the fact that the purported ceasefire agreement was announced when the Nigerian troops had chased out the insurgents from nearly all parts of the troubled north east region of Nigeria.”
