Senator Bukar Ibrahim, a former Governor of Yobe State and one of the persons nominated by the terrorist Islamic sect, Boko Haram, to mediate a proposed talk between its leaders and the Federal Government, on Thursday exposed the tactics used by the extremist sect Boko Haram to enlist sponsors.
According to him, the two main tactics as “threats and extreme coercion.”
The Senator, who also accused the JTF of killing more people than the Boko Haram, revealed this at the Senate plenary while contributing to a motion on attacks on Kabaru village in the Mau Local Government area of Zamfara State by bandits.
The motion was sponsored by Senator Kabiru Marafa and co-sponsored by all Senators.
The Senate asked the Inspector General of Police to step up surveillance and effective policing in the area.
Speaking on the motion, Senator Buka who supported the motion on the ground the experience in Zamfara is a reflection of happenings in other parts of the country said, “Today people are being forced to partially fund Boko Haram because of the activities of this people.
“They kill one, two or three people around, they frighten everybody and now everybody is succumbing to their demands. So today people are being forced to partially fund Boko Haram because of the activities of these criminals.”
“Security agencies are the number one killers in term of number. I am surprised the other day when the Chief of Army Staff said Boko Haram killed three thousand people; the security agencies have killed a lot more than three thousand since this thing started. On the first day that this crisis erupted in Maiduguri, over five thousand people were killed.”
“But it is the activities of particularly the police who pushed the Boko Haram people to wall by killing their leaders and killing thousands of other innocent people. That is what forced them to come out against the Nigeria state. It is the attitude of the security agencies; the way they operate that really makes it worse, not any better.
“Of course naturally, common criminals will take advantage of the situation to extort money from people and then the armed robbers are the third killers, and this is happening in Zamfara,” he said.
The Senate President, Senator David Mark, after directing the Police Affairs committee to look into Buka Ibrahim allegations said the Senate would do everything possible to ensure that the high level of insecurity in the country is reduced.
Mark noted that security agencies have been put in difficult situations urging residents of the area to always volunteer information on the activities of the deadly sect.
