Arewa: ACF worries over renewed Boko Haram attacks in Northern Nigeria

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has expressed concern over the spate of attacks and constant killings and kidnapping of innocent souls in the country, especially the northern part by the boko haram insurgents.

ACF specifically pointed out the frequent attacks on innocent Nigerians along Damaturu-Maiduguri road.

ACF National Publicity Secretary Muhammad Ibrahim Biu in a statement on Tuesday. said reports of daily attacks by the Boko Haram insurgents on commuters and villagers on the road linking the two states are disturbing and worrisome, considering that several innocent people were reported to have been kidnapped some killed.

He said the implication is that the only main road that links Borno to other parts of the country has been placed under siege by such attacks, adding that the situation has threatened the socio-economic activities in Damaturu and Maiduguri thereby placing the people in a state of fear and despair.

The ACF urged the security agencies to do more by not only repelling Boko Haram attacks, but also chasing them out of their enclaves. Dailypost
