The Nigeria Labour Congress has urged the federal government to immediately re-investigate, arrest and prosecute all those previously indicted for sponsoring Boko Haram.
The President of the NLC, Mr. Ayuba Wabba in a statement said the latest attacks were aimed at weakening the morale of the Nigerian army in its fight against insurgency in the country.
Wabba said “For us at the Nigeria Labour Congress, we believe this latest attacks should not weaken the morale of the forces involved in the battle against terrorism in our country, rather it should reinvigorate their fighting spirit and should be seen by the Federal Government as a challenge to arm our forces with more sophisticated and superior weapons both for intelligence gathering and combat.
“Beyond this, we urge our government to order the immediate reinvestigation, arrest and prosecution of all those previously indicted of sponsoring terror gangs, especially the Boko Haram sect and other such violent groups in any part of the country.
“The freedom of those who sponsor deadly violence put the entire country seated on time bomb that can explode at will. No matter how highly placed, whoever have been indicted should immediately be apprehended and reinvestigated now.”
He explained that the attacks carried out at Kuje along the Abuja International Airport and Nyanyan was aimed at announcing to the world that the sect cannot be suppressed.
He admonished all Nigerians to collaborate with the government to bring an end to Boko Haram.
