He noted that as of March this year, close to four million Nigerians were displaced while over 100,000 were recorded as sheltering in refugee camps in Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
Audu-Bida said that this could not be allowed to continue because humanitarian aid agencies were unable to reach these displaced people for fear of being attacked or kidnapped by terrorists, who had no respect for rules of engagement in their operations.
He lamented that the insurgency had been allowed to fester for too long and things had got out of hand, especially with the recent sack of the police mobile training institution in Gwoza, Borno State, declaring that with this, the insurgents will become more emboldened, unless decisive action is taken immediately to wipe them out.
“For the good of millions of Nigerians, the military should take decisive actions now to stop further displacement of Nigerians, destruction of farmlands, lives and property as well as occupying our territory, a situation which has become very embarrassing to Nigerians, the government and the armed forces,” he said.
