Posted By: Breaking Times

Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) has opined that Boko Haram was 100 per cent better in gathering intelligence than Nigeria’s security agencies.

Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma was speaking at the opening of a new secretariat for the Catholic Diocese built by Bishop Matthew Kukah, in Sokoto.  Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma then went ahead and called on Nigerians to “brace up” and weather the new challenges posed by Boko Haram as the war against Terror enters its critical stages.

Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma also stressed that the terrorists have now devised a strategy of disappearing into the wider civilian population and setting up sleeping cells who wreak havoc on softer targets, adding that this new strategy has not only bolstered the intelligence capability of the terrorists but has made them have superior surveillance techniques than Nigeria’s security agencies.

In his address, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma who is the Chairman of Boko Haram Victims’ Support Fund stressed that “When Boko Haram openly denounced all religions, Muhammadu Buhari called them terrorists and urged all Muslims to consider them as such,” he said.

“Later, some who chose to remain on the fence realized the threat posed to all and reluctantly joined in condemning Boko Haram.

“Having sleeping cells among the generality of the population has made them have intelligence capability that is 100 percent better than that of our security agencies‎,”

Also present at the occasion, was Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole who added his voice saying “religious harmony was the only panacea to a peaceful country”.

Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, said that ‘’Nigerians must not let the activities of Boko Haram sow the seed of doubt and mistrust among themselves as allowing such will be detrimental to the peaceful coexistence of various religious and ethnic groups in the country’’, adding that “now is the time for leaders to close ranks and work for the stability and progress of the country”.

The Governor said the unity of Nigeria has been threatened by the emergence of Boko Haram; a tragedy which he said has deepened anxieties across the country.

According to him, all Nigerians must learn to put the nation and the survival of the citizenry first before any other consideration. “Because if there’s no nation, there will be no space to practice our faiths”.
