CAUTION: The Emerging New Monster
The quick indication of another insurgent group emerging, this time from the North-western state of Sokoto, should be an issue of a grave concern.
Information rife is that some elements, flaunting the Islamic sharia card, have arisen on the border town in Sokoto state imposing sanctions and rules as in the sense of taking over governance. They are said to have come from neighbouring Niger Republic, intimidating and coercing indigenes to wily submission.
These Islamic marauders have taken over space as large as a local government council. They seem to be another version of the dreaded Boko Haram.
The information gotten so far about the group should be enough buildup to quickly and urgently quell this emerging trend. But that the security forces must handle with great caution, so as not to present another case of misapplied approach as alleged in the case of the now notorious Boko Haram.
The state and federal governments must stand up and exhibit the necessary ingenuity to nip this emerging threat in the bud. They must employ all sagacity and security intelligence to curtail this extending cankerworm.
