Security agencies are working with stakeholders including the media towards ensuring that the activities of the Boko Haram sect are brought under total control for peace to reign in Nigeria.
This assurance was given by the Director General of the SSS, Ekpenyong Ita at the opening of a one week training programe for media practitioners in Abuja.
He disclosed that activities of the sect have turned to a full scale business venture for its leaders. According to him, recent discovery of the main objective of the terrorist group runs contrary to the earlier claims by the group that they are actually fighting a religious war.
Criminal activities
The group, he said, actually started as an extremist religious group under the late Mohammed Yusuf, but later transformed into a business venture, as the sect members are now making good living out of their criminal activities.
Assuring Nigerian public of the capability and readiness of the security agencies in the country to restore peace, Mr. Ita declared: “we are not overwhelmed, we can never be overwhelmed and we will never be overwhelmed. We are up to the task”.
