Senator David Mark, on Monday,
said the time has come for security operatives to unmask sponsors of Boko
Haram.
Mark, who spoke at the decoration
of his Aide-de-camp (ADC), Abel Miri, with his new rank of Assistant
Commissioner of Police (ACP), in Abuja, said one of the ways to end the reign
of insurgency and the onslaught of Boko Haram on Nigerians was to unmask their
sponsors within and outside the country.
He implored community leaders and
citizens to collaborate with security operatives, in order to fish out the
financiers of insurgents, adding that security operatives must bring their
intellect and investigative skills to bear in discovering those behind the
insurgency.
“The unabating situation demands
extraordinary measures to handle. All of us, irrespective of status, must be
alert to our responsibilities. Let us rise as one people, faced with a common
problem, to say no to these harbingers of death. Let’s come together and work
hard to free ourselves.
“All Nigerians must see these
terrorists as threat to our existence. Nobody should sit on the fence any more.
It is a choice we have to make in chasing these terrorists away or wait to be
consumed by them. This is not about politics, religion or ethnicity, it is
about our survival as a nation,” he said.
The Senate president tasked the
newly promoted ACP that the new rank demanded higher responsibility and
dedication to the service to his fatherland, adding that “as an officer and
gentleman, your loyalty is to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
