fight against Boko

The Catholic Bishop of Maiduguri Diocese, Rt. Rev. Dr.
Oliver Doeme Dashe, has lamented that the federal
government is more committed to the 2015
general elections than the fight against Boko
Haram.
He noted that the action of the government at the
centre is risking the spread of the insurgency
across all parts of the country, stressing that
“government must expedite action towards ending
the Boko Haram insurgency or risk its spread
across the country.”
Bishop Dashe, who spoke with our correspondent in
Maiduguri, observed that Boko Haram is spreading
like wild fire in the North East states of Adamawa,
Borno and Yobe with Gombe and Bauchi gradually
being listed in the trail.
The bishop who is in charge of Borno, Yobe and
some parts of Adamawa states noted that the
activities of the insurgents have paralysed
economic, social, religious, agricultural, among
other activities in all the affected states as people
continue to wallow in abject sufferings, adding
that, “government seems to be less concern.”
