A HUMAN Rights lawyer and founder of Help The Poor Foundation (HTP) Barrister Kelvin Nweke has called on Nigerians to rally round the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in its efforts to bring to end the Boko Haram insurgency in the country.
Barrister Nweke made the call in an interview with newsmen while speaking on the continued disturbance by members of the sect which he noted has caused a lot of damage to properties and loss of innocent lives.
He said that numerous persons including the pitiable condition of one Mr. Tijani Oluwafemi Ajokunle who while living in Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State, with wife and members of his family, and was attacked and all his property burnt, stated that even when he and family escaped to their church, Agape Love Assembly, the dreaded Boko Haram terrorists came and set the church ablaze.
Barrister Nweke stated further that there was urgent need for the federal government to establish the existing bilateral relationship between it and foreign countries to enable such countries give the Boko Haram victims including Mr. Tijani Ajokunle who is currently held captive by the American authorities the privilege to go about and fend for their legitimate means of livelihood.
