CSOs Seek US, UK, Israel's Support in Anti-terrorism War
The Coalition of Civil Society Groups has solicited the support of the United States of America, United Kingdom and Israel in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.
Noting that much still needed to be done, Williams said this prompted the group’s formal request for the assistance of the United States, United Kingdom and Israel to support Nigeria with technology in a bid to completely annihilate terrorists and insurgents in the country. He cited among others, cases like the Abuja Police Headquarters bombing, which was believed to be the first suicide bombing of June 16, 2011; the bomb explosion on Friday, August 26, 2011 at the United Nations building in Abuja which killed at least 21 and wounded 60 as well as the April 14, 2014 bomb explosions at a crowded bus station in Nyanya, Abuja, killing no fewer than 88 people and injuring no fewer than 200 others.
“It was observed that Nigerians in the city centres are no more keeping vigil in anticipation of a likely attack by the Boko Haram terrorist, the agony of insecurity and fear of the unknown has eluded the major cities except the fringes of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa States.
