Biafra war veterans, group bemoan insecurity

MASSOB

Two groups, Biafra War veterans and Community Policing Campaign of Nigeria (CPCN) have condemned the state of insecurity in the country orchestrated by the Boko Haram sect even as they called on all to join hands to stop the trend.
Speaking in Aba, Abia State through the head, communications and public affairs, Moses Bak  Ogba during the familiarization tour of the five South east states, deputy director general of CPCN, Prince Akinloye Ogunmodede said the current security situation was disturbing.  He stated that since government could not do everything alone, he said that all hands must be on deck to fight the menace which he said was affecting the political and economic development of the country.
While admitting that the country has diverse nationalities,he stated that since there was the general belief there is unity in diversity, every citizen should take it as a challenge to bring about peace in the  nation.  He particularly called on traditional rulers in the country to be more security conscious and monitor the activities of their subjects more closely.
In a release signed by Ibe Nwachukwunta, counsel to Biafra War veterans, the group said it was worried by the state of insecurity in the country, stressing that the spate of killings across Nigeria was capable of plunging the country into another civil war.
The group said as people who saw it all during the civil war, the country may not be lucky this time round to survive another war.  Stressing that the current security problem was not what should be left only for President Goodluck Jonathan to handle, the Biafra War veterans urged all Nigerians to join hands in fighting the menace.
