Redeploy Igbo, Christian Soldiers To South Now, Ohanaeze Youths Tell Army

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has attributed the killing of dozens of soldiers in ambush in Gorgi, Borno state to the recruitment of ‘repentant’ Boko Haram members in the Army, insisting that Igbo and Christians were the major target of the attack.

OYC while maintaining that the infiltration of the Army by Boko Haram members has been a setback in the fight to end terrorism in the country called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately flush out all members of the terrorist group in the Army.

In a statement signed by the President General, Mazi Okechukwu isiguzoro, OYC called on Defence Headquarters to redeploy Christian soldiers to the Southern part of Nigeria to avoid incidences of sabotage in ending the war.

(2) OYC appeal to the defence headquarters (DHQ) to redeploy all Christian Soldiers to the South as a strategy to win the war against insurgency in the North East,its only when the so called  repentant Boko Haram sect that infiltrated in the Army are meant  to alone (without Christian Soldiers)execute the war against terrorism, there will be victory on the side of the Nigerian Army because it will be repackaged terrorists  versus Boko Haram terrorists, but if paired with Christian Soldiers, there will be sabotage and leaking of information across to Boko Haram which will put Christian Soldiers as sacrificial lambs in this war against insurgency, like the ambush against Christian Soldiers mostly Igbos in Gorgi village, Borno state. 

(3) Igbo Youths Condole with all the Families especially igbos that lost their loved ones in the ambush in Gorgi Village Borno State, with the frightening battle against coronavirus across Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari  should direct  the Defence Headquarters to change strategy against the war against Boko Haram. Presidency should equip the Nigeria’s Army to fight against Boko Haram.
