Boko Haram started as an Islamic sect but a strong aversion for western education. In the last two years, Nigerians now sleep and wake in fear, for no one, including the security agencies, can accurately predict where the next attack would be lunched. It became more disturbing with the attack of Abuja, thereby exposing the vulnerability of the seat of power. Despite Federal Government seemingly helpless situation in resolving the matter, especially with the continuous detention of chibok students, some notable Nigerians, especially those with wealth of experience on security matter, have broken their silence on the matter with a view to sharing their informed view on how the problem could be solved. Major-General David Jemibewon (rtd) enjoined the Army to threat cautiously, especially on the recovery of the unfortunate student. Jemibewon said failure to heed the advice and opt for fire-for-fire response would not only be counter- productive, it would also cost the innocent girls their lives. “Again, we must realise that with these girls adopted in Chibok, if we apply full military force in an attempt to liberate
them, they would be killed. At the end, you will ask yourself, what have I achieved?” Jembewon urged the Federal Government to see the insurgency more of a national tragedy than accident and step up effort to support all security agencies in the land including the army, navy, air force, National Security and Civil Defence Corps, Department of Secret Service, police, and others. During the Nigerian civil war, he recalled, some people came up with the Troop Comfort Fund, which raised some fund used to provide food and other needs.
