Buhari Urged To Probe Reported ISIS, ISWAP Settlements In Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has been urged to thoroughly investigate the report widely circulated that international terrorist organizations – ISIS and ISWAP – are building camps in both the southern and northern parts of the country.
One of the political parties in the country, the Action Democratic Party (ADP), made the call in a press statement made available to journalists on Sunday by Prince Adelaja Adeoye, its national publicity secretary of the party.

The party maintained that the president must take urgent steps in deploying military and other security forces to the areas where the terrorists were alleged to be operating, in order to secure the lives and property of Nigerians.
ADP also made reference to an allegation by some prominent cultural leaders that over 500 power motorbikes were sighted in the thick forest around the Oke-Ogun axis of Oyo State. 

It stressed that the area being connected to many international borders could have made it possible for the terrorists to invade the country. 
The press release read: “As a party, with concern for the security of Nigerian citizens, we call on the President to do the needful, and not watch, until the situation becomes ugly. Advance technology such as GPS mapping and other territorial scanning systems, can be deployed to aid investigation, and discover the exact  points these terrorist groups are building their camps.”
ADP stated further that it would be less expensive to push the group back now that they were just forming, rather than wait until they begin to unleash terror on the citizens just as Boko Haram had been doing in the North East.

It maintained that it was a wake-up call for all Nigerians, and leaders across the geopolitical zones, to be conscious of the danger of the terrorist groups.
Meanwhile, the party also reacted to the allegation that Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) was funded by some terrorist groups outside the country.  

“President Buhari and law enforcement agencies should not fold their arms, over a weighty allegation against MURIC, led by Prof. Ishaq Akintola, that his group, is being funded by ISWAP terrorist organization. 
“The allegation that Akintola’s MURIC received $200,000 from a terrorist organization, to help them recruit foot soldiers in Nigeria should not just end by his mere denial, but the extensive investigation should be carried out.

“We understand that some political gladiators promote and hide under some religious-based organizations, to achieve their sinister motives. 
“We are calling on Nigerians to keep demanding for explanations, where they are not cleared on certain national issues.”
