vlcsnap-2014-03-04-09h13m24s128A Legal Practitioner, Jiti Ogunye, has advised the military in Nigeria to approach their fight against insurgency in the country by focusing on blocking the sources of the insurgents’ funding.

Speaking on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr. Ogunye stated that  “there are people sponsoring these people” adding that part of the duty of the military is to “get the sponsors behind these terrorists and deal with them”.

He mentioned  other African countries, that have experienced similar problems, such as Kenya, Mali amongst others, insisting that military should improve their strategies in order to get to the root of the matter, because Nigerians are impatient for solutions.

Speaking on border issues, he challenged the Federal Government to go to Chad, Cameroon and question them about the allegations that they are harboring these terrorists, noting that closure of border will not help to reduce insurgency but approaching the neighboring countries and informing them of the terrorists that come from their country into Nigeria to cause this mayhem.

He further insisted that Nigeria needs a better strategy to cure these menace and the strategy can come from Nigerians having a rethink and coming out with an accurate solution. He said despite the State of Emergency that had been declared by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013, there has been increase in attacks and secondary schools in the North are now the major target.

He insisted that Nigeria must come out with better strategies if its fight against terrorism would be won.
