Prof. Ango Abdullahi ,member of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) on Tuesday said that Niger Delta militants are worse than boko haram terrorists.
Speaking during the launch of two books by Dr. Hadiza Isa Wada titled, “Boko Haram: The Charade vs. Reality” and “The Life and Times of Umaru Turakin Bauchi”, Prof Abdullahi said, “You ask the question where did Boko Haram got their sophistication and articulation from? No doubt from external connections, but external connections can only thrive if they have internal connections in the country itself; THIS DAY reports.
“But then came robberies and Boko Haram was blamed, then came in political interference. Bombs were also put in churches and mosques and they were not entirely put by Muslims but by both religions. But the real offence was people who knew and should have spoken out did not do so.
Condemning the Niger Delta Avengers Prof. Abdullahi described members of the group as economic terrorists.
“In the Niger Delta, for example, people who come out openly and say they are avenging something and that they are fighting to avenge something, they’re worse than Boko Haram.
“So if you (federal government) are not going to fight the Niger Delta Avengers then stop fighting Boko Haram.”
