The Speaker, Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu, has condemned last week’s suicide bomb attack on the ever-busy Nyanya Motor Park, a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, describing it as callous and man’s inhumanity to his fellow human being.
Hon. Uwajumogu, expressed sadness at the wanton destruction of lives and properties of Nigerians by the Boko Haram insurgents, stressing that with the ongoing high-powered onslaught against the people of the country, many have been rendered orphans and homeless in their father land, while economic activities in the affected area has been grounded to a halt.
He called on the Federal Government to upgrade the welfare of the Armed Forces fighting the Boko Haram war so as to boost their moral for optimum performance.
The Speaker further challenged the relevant security agencies in the country, which are in the fight against terrorism, to collectively work in unity through Intelligence gathering and sharing, noting that with the total commitments of the stakeholders in the war against terror, Nigeria will definitely triumph over its present challenges.
He also commiserated with families who lost their loved ones in the incident and declared that the war against insurgents in the country must be embraced by all who believed in the Nigerian project.
On the abduction of about 130 school girls in the Chibok Area of Borno State, Rt. Hon. Uwajumogu, described it as despicable and unfortunate, even with the state of emergency in operation in those areas and called on the security agencies in the country to immediately review its operations in the areas to forestall the daily occurrence of such acts.
The Speaker said “it is absolutely barbaric and man’s inhumanity to his fellow human being for someone to sit back and plan how to eliminate the lives of others for no just cause. Indeed, this country belongs to all of us and I wonder why we should be treating our fellow brother and sisters in such a despicable manner. I want to call on the Military to please, change tactics because the lives of Nigerians are currently at stake”, he submitted.
He enjoined Nigerians to be security conscious in their daily activities and report any strange movements of persons and objects around them, as the security agents can only work effectively with information or data at their disposal.
