A public affairs analyst and lawyer, Chima Nnaji, on Thursday predicted that the end of the Boko Haram insurgency is near, while airing his views on the activities of the group as well as the conspiracy theories surrounding it.
?There?s nothing hidden under the sun and it?s only a matter of time because everything under the sun has expiry date and that date will come and it is very near. When the wound is about to heal, the scratching increases? he said concerning the activities of the terrorists and their sponsors.
The group recently gained global attention following the kidnap of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State which seems to be the biggest hit by the insurgents in the entire country.
However, the arrest of one of the Nyanya bomb blast suspects 48 hours after he was declared wanted was described as a commendable feat by the analyst.
?This is one of the results of collaboration and it?s a good development,? he said, adding that ?no one single group or body can achieve much result all alone,? he said, while stressing the importance of team work in the fight against terrorism.
On reports that soldiers of the 7th Division attacked a vehicle carrying their General Officer Commander (GOC), Nnaji said it was not the first time related cases would he heard, making reference to an officer who was allegedly a member of the cultist group, Omabatse, responsible for the gruesome killing of several policemen
?This is a very trying time because it?s a war without front. You don?t know who you are fighting. People are shouting Boko Haram, but there might be one Haram Boko in the system doing a reverse function of what the State is about to do,? he said.
He noted that the #BringBackOurGirls campaign was a ?task that must be done? but maintained that the aggression was displaced. ?The President did not cause the kidnap,? he said, adding that the Boko Haram insurgency was engineered by ?some people.?
Nnaji further corroborated the conspiracy theories which blamed government opposition for staging the insurgency which has spiraled out of control.
He insisted that those directly affected by the terrorists activities, the North East region, are not as agitated or pro-active in the rescue mission as protesters in other parts of the country.
