El-Rufai uncomfortable as ISWAP overwhelms Boko Haram
As the two terrorist cells operating in the northeast cancel each other in the battle for supremacy, one governor is feeling uncomfortable
Kaduna Gov. Nasir El Rufai stated his fear while delivering a speech at the Fountain Summit in Ekiti.
“Remember once upon a time, Boko Haram was only in north-east. Now, the biggest fear we have in the north-west is that they are relocating to the north-west because they are being chased out from the north-east by ISWAP.
“When they are chased out of the north-west, where do you think they will come? Somewhere else. It is something we should all be concerned about; not only federal and state collaboration, but also across the country.
“Don’t see what is happening in Kaduna and say it is not my problem. It will be your problem one day, unless it is solved.”
Fighters of the two groups have been launching reprisal since ISWAP over ran the Sambisa territory of Boko Haram weeks ago, leading to the suicide of Boko Haram leader Abu Shekau.
ISWAP top-notch commander Al Barnawi has just been confirmed dead too.
The successors have been clashing around the Lake Chad, Sambisa and other areas.
