A security expert, Dr. Ona Ekhomu, has asked the Federal Regime to establish an incentive system to reward people who provide valuable information on the activities of members of Boko Haram.
Ekhomu verbally expressed a minimum reward of N5m could be enough motivation for people to avail security operatives with information that will lead to the capture of more members of the group.
He verbally expressed this while reacting to the prosperous security operation that dislodged Boko Haram terrorists from Balmo forest in Bauchi last week, a verbalization on Thursday verbally expressed.
Ekhomu, who is the President of the Association of Industrial Security Operators of Nigeria, verbalized, “The Federal Regime should establish a ‘Rewards for Justice Programme’ that will provide reward mazuma of a minimum of N5m for information leading to the apprehend and capture of any Boko Haram fighter. Funds from SURE-P can be acclimated to finance this incentive.
“The recent intensification of attacks by Boko Haram, including the Emab Plaza bombing and the Nyanyan bombings and the seizure of over 200 school girls in Chibok denote the audacity of the terrorists who feel that they can inundate the Nigerian regime and people, and surmount our territory like other terror groups have done in Mali and Iraq. This Al-Qaeda brand must not be sanctioned to flourish in Nigeria.”
He verbally expressed that the group was thriving because it was relishing support and assistance from outside the country, integrating that the objective of its financiers was to ravage lives and property.
“Boko Haram fighters are fighters from hell and do not mean well for us. There are peregrine fighters embedded in the group and they are bent on ravaging human lives and assets,” he integrated.
Ekhomu urged Nigerians to stop criticising Nigerian soldiers, verbally expressing that people should not expect peregrine soldiers to come and “lay down their lives fight for us.
