Fresh indication has emerged that terrorists are
currently employing new tricks to beat security checks. Among such moves is the
recruitment of physically-challenged people to carry out their dastardly acts
in some parts of the country. The recruitment of
these set of persons, as gathered, was to allow easy access into
states like Lagos. This came as the Minister of State for Defence,
Musiliu Obanikoro, yesterday in Lagos, described Boko Haram sect’s declaration of
Gwoza
town in Borno state as an Islamic caliphate, as a
‘temporary madness’ that would soon disappear, saying there would never be
another republic within Nigeria.
Military sources hinted that following intelligence report on the use of
people with disabilities by the Boko haram sect, screening of physically
challenged persons, particular those using tricycles had begun. The disclosure
as gathered, followed the confessional statement of the physically challenged
man arrested recently at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos, with combustive
substance.
Part of the steps taken according to the Minister of Defence, included the injection of
adequate fund into the military with a view to acquiring equipment that would
raise its performance.
According to him, “the madness we are witnessing today is something that is temporary. And be rest assured that we have all it takes to make it as temporary as it takes. There can never be a republic within a republic. The national Conference which just ended had all responsible and reasonable Nigerians saying that we are going to stay together, live together in peace and develop our country.
