The apex Igbo socio-cultural
organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has alleged that some Service chiefs in the
country were making money from the war against Boko Haram insurgents.
The group expressed dismay that
despite the huge funds being earmarked for the procurement of weapons to fight
insurgency in the northeast,the government has failed to protect lives and
property of its citizenry.
Ohanaeze, however, expressed
shock over the massacre of Nigerian soldiers at Metele in Borno state.
The Deputy National Publicity
Secretary of Igbo body, Mazi Chuks Ibegbu, made this known in an interview with
newsmen on Friday, in Umuahia, the Abia state capital, calling on President
Muhammadu Buhari to explain what has happened to the security funds and why the
soldiers complain of lack of weapons and welfare.
He noted that,” The Boko Haram
war is now a money-making venture for some government officials and top army
officers.
“If Boko Haram is not completely
defeated now by this regime , it will be a disaster for Nigeria in the future”.
