The recent statement by Governor Babangana Zulum of Borno State, claiming that 90 per cent of repentant\u00a0Boko Haram\u00a0terrorists are genuine, might have emanated from moral naivety. Notwithstanding the good intention of the governor and his conviction about the genuineness of the purportedly repented terrorists, his assumption is tactless and too simplistic. It is very worrisome to admit what the governor contemplates and wishes to sacrifice for the sake of unsettled peace in Borno State and the North East in general.<\/p>\n

Beyond Intelligence Gathering and Sharing. <\/strong><\/a>Source: prnigeria<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nigeria\u2019s foremost military intelligence body, i.e. the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), formerly known as National Security Organization (NSO), was established in 1986, with the sole aim of providing the much needed intelligence to the Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence. The agency coordinates and maintains synergy among the Armed forces of Nigeria comprising the trio of, Army, Navy and Air Force as well as the Police and the Department of State Service (DSS). Meanwhile, it also works in synergy with other international stakeholders in exchange of credible intelligence in matters related to security issues. The DIA has over the years expanded its tentacles beyond intelligence gathering and sharing, but also engages in extracurricular activities in collaboration with other national, regional and international organizations aimed at achieving harmony and mutual understanding among them. This has undoubtedly led to providing a perfect avenue for both the DIA and the associated partners to accomplish their enshrined mandates of protecting their countries against any threats.<\/p>\n

Youths, Decision-Making and Insecurity.<\/strong><\/a> Source: prnigeria<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria is a great country with a large population, very strong economy, excellent young people with excellent innovations. And this is a country I have looked forward to visiting a lot and I think our team today realised our dreams meeting you, the ministers,\u201d he had, then, Osinbajo. However, it is the same youths (though, not exactly like the ones earlier mentioned by Mr. Vice President and Ma) that have become willing tools for perpetrating criminal activities. It is the same Nigerian youths (but of varying moral aptitudes) who have become cannon fodder for orchestrating violence, acts of barbarity and wanton carnage. The general insecurity in the land is as result of the terror some abled-bodied youths have been visiting on the nation. There are several issues that must be addressed for youths to shun crimes and other violent acts that have made peace and security elusive. There have always been a massive advocacy for the provision of jobs to idle youths, quality education, and good governance as panacea for underdevelopment, illiteracy and poverty\u2013fuelers of insecurity. But what the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Leo Irabor, believes is the practical solution to pervasive insecurity is youths involvement in decision-making.<\/p>\n

As Borno Domesticates Nigeria\u2019s VAPP Act, What Does It Mean For Displaced Women? <\/strong><\/a>Source: Humangle<\/strong><\/p>\n

The absence of adequate laws like the VAPP Act makes the course of justice unattainable to many people. However, if significant changes are made to the Act to tone down the provisions before its domestication, it may not have the desired effect. For women like Falmata,\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0raped first by terrorists while in abduction, and then allegedly by soldiers of the Nigerian army at a displacement camp in Borno after she escaped, there can hardly be any talk of justice. There is no accountability for her rapists, nor compensation for her and her child conceived from the abuse.\u00a0This remains true for the thousands of women and girls who have suffered the same fate. In 2015, at the peak of the Boko Haram insurgency, with hundreds of women and girls being raped and forcefully married to insurgents, the New York Times\u00a0reported\u00a0<\/a>that the scale of sexual violence was so rampant and systematic that \u201cofficials and relief workers described it as a deliberate strategy to dominate rural residents and possibly even create a new generation of Islamist militants in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

A group, Northern Youth Network (NYN), has eulogised Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and other military forces for their sustained onslaughts against bandits and other criminal elements. The group said the recent airstrikes and ground operations that resulted to killing of many terrorists including the Kingpin, Dogo-Umaru, Mallam Buba Danfulani and 41 others was an indication that the end of banditry is near. The group particularly praised the DIA, DSS and other intelligence agencies for coordinating and enhancing intelligence gathering that have helped the ongoing operations by the Army, Airforce and Navy in the country, stressing that the inter \u2013 agency collaboration has yielded impressive results. A statement signed by Convener of the group, Mallam Abdulrahman Ahmed, and made available to journalists maintained that apparently shared intelligence has recently resulted in airstrikes carried out by the Nigeria Air Force that eliminated a notorious bandit kingpin, Dogo-Umaru and 41 others who were responsible for the death of a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Katsina last month.<\/p>\n
