Boko Haram Insurgency…
•Army confirms 47 killed in Bama as Jonathan, ACN condemn attack
•Muslims appeal to sect to stop killings
•Turaki: Amnesty c’ttee yet to open talks with insurgents
Obviously
at his wits end and frustrated with the seemingly endless orgy of
violence unleashed on his state, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State
yesterday warned that the nation could be consumed by a revolution, as
Nigerian youths in the not-too-distant future will chase politicians out
of power.
Painting a grim picture of things to come, the governor of Borno,
which has been at the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency, said the
crisis was a mere appetizer of things to come.
Shettima made the statement yesterday while receiving a 32-member
Senate Joint Committee on the Massacre in Baga, which paid him a
courtesy visit before proceeding on their fact-finding mission.
The governor’s warning came just as the Nigerian Army officially
confirmed that 47 persons were killed in Bama on Tuesday during the
multiple attacks on the town.
The casualties comprised 21 insurgents, six policemen, 14 prison
officials, two soldiers and four residents made up of three children and
a woman, who were burnt to death by the insurgents.
