A security analyst, Mr. Jackson Ojo , has warned President Goodluck Jonathan against trusting Nigeria’s neighbours in his efforts to combat the activities of the Boko Haram.
Ojo said this in an interview with our correspondent on Saturday.
He said that the constant attacks on Nigerians and and Nigerian communities could have the support of some of the aggrieved persons in some of the neighbouring countries.
The security expert who condemned the deadly attack on Kano mosque also said that Nigeria should not seek help from the United States. He explained that the US had predicted the disintegration of Nigeria by 2015, saying they would not offer any help but would rather aggravate the problem.
Ojo said, “President Jonathan must do everything to put a stop to the activities of the Boko Haram sect.
“But he should no longer trust our neighbouring countries. Nationals of these countries: Chaldeans, people from Niger Republic, those from Central African Republic and even Benin Republic enter into Nigeria anyhow and this must stop.
“There are some aggrieved persons in these countries who would want to bring Nigeria down. Some of them are not happy about Nigeria’s stance against Gaddafi and the way our troops went to Mali.
“Majority of these Boko Haram members are aliens. Nigerians love life and would not want to be suicide bombers but aliens whose culture allow suicide bombing would go to any length to destroy our nation.
“We should not look on the direction of the United States of America for solution to this terrorism problem. The same US had long predicted the collapse of Nigeria and going to them would not solve our problem.”
Ojo also advised Jonathan to involve retired security officers in fashioning out permanent solution to the problem of terrorism in the country.
He explained that ex-service officers should be invited to a conference and their experience and expertise should be tapped to tackle the problem.
