Dear Editor,

Boko Haram Crisis: Waiting for Rep Ibn Naallah

House of Rep Ibn NaAllah (a lawyer) has been quiet this time around as the Boko Haram crisis rages. It will be recalled that he had, at the heat of the Niger Delta areas bombardment averred that the federal government JTF should eliminate the 20 million persons in Niger Delta to save the remaining 120 million Nigerians. The same man was on the front page of a Daily Sun newspaper showcasing how cheaper and safer it is to fly in own private jet; he owns one.

Honourable NaAllah should be hourable enough to give his sincere comment about what to do with the Boko Haram sect members. To help him, it is believed that the membership is not more than 540,000 members are reported in the media recently. When compared with the 20 million he had advocated to be wiped out, the Boko Haram membership is paltry. Could he opine without wasting time if this lot should be eliminated so that Nigerian populace could be at peace?

Please Honourable Ibn NaAllah, over to you; we are waiting to hear from you.
