Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator representing Bayelsa East in the
National Assembly, has explained why President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight
against Boko Haram insurgents is not working.
Bruce said the release of Boko Haram members was responsible for
current attacks and failure to curtail the insurgents in the North East
region of Nigeria.
According to him, “The anti-terror war of this administration is not
working because of its policy of releasing ‘repentant’ Boko Haram
members.
“You can’t expect fire to go out when you are resupplying the fire
with fuel. Don’t give terrorists a slap on the wrist. Give them a dirty
slap on the face!”
The Bayelsa lawmaker stated this on his Twittter page.
Recall that on November 18, the Al Barnawi faction of Boko Haram
attacked the 157 Task Force Battalion based at Metele in the northern
part of Borno state, killing scores of the Nigerian troops while others
were injured.
