Insecurity: Our borders are porous, some insurgents are not Nigerians — Akpabio
2025-05-23
[VANGUARDNGR] The President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, has revealed that some bully boyz involved in the recent resurgence of 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...
attacks in parts of Nigeria are not Nigerian nationals. He explained that these murderous Moslems carry out attacks in Nigeria and then retreat to neighboring countries to regroup before launching further assaults, taking advantage of Nigeria's mostly non-existent borders.

Speaking in Abuja during a discussion on a motion regarding the resurgence of Boko Haram activities in Hong and Gombi Local Government Areas of Adamawa State and other North East states, Akpabio stressed the need for constant vigilance.

He said, ''Our borders are very porous. Some of these bully boyz are not Nigerians. They cross our borders to launch attacks and then escape back to their countries to reinforce their ranks, especially when they find our defenses relaxed.''

The Senate has urged the Federal Government to establish a military base in Hong Local Government Area to bolster existing security personnel and prevent Boko Haram insurgency from spreading to other parts of the North and beyond.
