The Catholic Archbishop of Jos, Ignatius Kaigama has queried the quality
of help America is said to be giving to Nigeria towards the fight
against Boko Haram. In an interview with BBC Africa, Bishop Kaigama
wondered why Boko Haram attacks is still on the increase despite the
reported help America is offering Nigeria
"The question is if the US has been providing help, intelligence and
assisting in one way or the other, why the growing destruction? Why is
the activities of Boko Haram becoming so sophisticated? So I wonder the
quality of help. How effective is that help? How can it bring this
situation to a halt? We (Nigeria) certainly need help to overcome this
terrorist group because they seem to be expanding and growing more
sophisticated in their approach and they are claiming lives and
displacing so many Nigerians."
He called on the international community to show genuine concern to
issues of terrorism on other parts of the world and not just Europe..
"Let us act together. It is important to feel concern when one part of
the world is in trouble. Whether it is in the middle east, Whether is in
the sub saharan africa. whether it is in Europe or America. I think we
should be genuinely concerned for one another and do what we can like I
see the very positive response of the french government in tackling the
issue of religious violence after the killings of their citizens. There
have been very very positive and putting in all they can in order to
ensure this does not happen again. We need that spirit to be spread
around. Not just when it happens in Europe but when it happens in
Nigeria, in Niger, in Cameroon, in any poor country, that we mobilize
our international resources and confront the people who bring such
sadness to many families"he said
