| Nigeria: Muslim Students Want Political Solution to Boko Haram |
| 2014-08-05 |
| [ALLAFRICA] The Moslem Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has urged the Federal Government to honestly and quickly find political solutions to the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... insurgency instead of relying solely on military option. A statement signed by the MSSN National Secretary General Alhaji Ibrahim Giwa said this would help the government to identify criminals operating under the guise of the Boko Haram crisis and bring them to book. The statement said the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary in the country should immediately work together harmoniously in lines with the rules of engagement for the good of the common man rather than pursue selfish and personal political agenda. The Moslem students further advised all stakeholders in the country, especially past leaders, religious leaders and civil society organizations to prevail on all parties to exercise restraint in all their utterances and actions. "The insurgency, which is taking unprecedented and devastating dimensions, especially with the abduction of the Chibok girls for more than 100 days now, the attempted liquidation of Rtd General Mummamadu Buhari and increasing and seeming uncontrolled cases of bombings which is becoming a daily occurrence in the country, need urgent, immediate and credible steps to stop these killings and insecurity forthwith," the statement added. |
