The youth said they have resolved to enter Sambisa and other hideouts of the terrorists to hunt them down and bring an end to the on-going crisis.
The Shehu who commended the efforts of the Civilian JTF in fighting the Boko Haram sect tasked them to always abide by the rule of law in the course of discharging their civic responsibilities while appealing to them to always follow the directives of the military and other security agencies while discharging their duties.
He said, with the emergence of the Civilian JTF, it has really
assisted in dislodging the sect out of Maiduguri and its environs, and
therefore called on other places to set up their own Civilian JTF/youth
volunteers to fight terrorism.
The Shehu said: “I want to to thank you for this visit and the effort you are collectively and voluntarily doing in order to fight Boko Haram who are bent in, not only destroying our social and economic structures, but also killing innocent lives of our citizenry. I want to also appeal to you that you should desist from politics, religious or ethnic considerations while discharging your duties to your fatherland. In anything you are doing, you must make sure that you consult all other security agencies so that you work hand-in-hand to end terrorism that have been destroying us as a nation.” the Shehu pleaded.
Meanwhile the state Coordinator of Civilian JTF, Mallam Abba Aji Kalli, in an interview with Journalists said their visit to the Shehu’s palace was to seek his fatherly advice and blessings as they have vowed that despite not being armed with sophisticated weapons such as the sect, however, they are willing to fight the sect with their sticks and other local arms if given the go ahead by the FG.
