The federal and Bauchi State governments
have been asked to provide adequate security to discourage Boko Haram
insurgents escaping from either Adamawa, Borno or Yobe states from using
Bauchi State as their sanctuary.
The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and the Action Congress of
Nigeria, ACN, made the call at separate interviews with Vanguard in
Bauchi, yesterday.
CAN said that apart from Bauchi, the security agencies should also
beam their searchlights on the other northern states where there is no
state of emergency to prevent fresh crises in those places, saying that
miscreants should be stopped from making life difficult for law-abiding
members of the society.
The state Secretary of CAN, Rev. Joshua Rai Mains, who reacted to the
on-going military campaign in the three states said that residents of
Bauchi State expected tight security in the state to prevent criminals
from infiltrating into it.
The state Chairman of the ACN, Alhaji Bappa Daffida also said that
the declaration of state of emergency in the neighbouring three states
had triggered movements of people from the affected states to the
near-by states, hence security ought to be beefed-up in Bauchi State
among others.
He said “I would advise security agents to increase their
survelliance because some of these terrorist groups would feel
uncomfortable and migrate to neighbouring states”.
p them clean and brief.
