Press Release 

Boko Haram Ambush: Christians and Igbos are Major Casualties because Infiltration of Boko Haram sect in the Army a Major Setback. Redeploy Christians Soldiers to the South – Ohanaeze Ndigbo have demanded from the federal government.

(1) Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has mourned the killings of Nigeria soldiers (majority who are Christians mostly from the Southern and Middlebelt part of the Country), in an ambush at Gorgi Village of Borno State.

OYC insist that the infiltration through absolving of repented Boko Haram sect members into the Nigeria’s Army is the direct consequence of these ambush and the killings of scores of our gallant Soldiers in Gorgi Village, Borno State.

OYC therefore urge the Presidency to do the needful and flush out elements of Boko Haram sect in the Army, or we might be losing the war against terrorism and insurgency in the North East.

(2) OYC appeal to the defence headquarters (DHQ) to redeploy all Christian Soldiers to the South as a strategy to win the war against insurgency in the North East, arguing that it is only when the so called  repentant Boko Haram sect that infiltrated in the Army are meant  to alone (without Christian Soldiers) execute the war against terrorism, there will be victory on the side of the Nigerian Army because it will be repackaged terrorists  versus Boko Haram terrorists, but if paired with Christian Soldiers, there will be sabotage and leaking of information across to Boko Haram which will put Christian Soldiers as sacrificial lambs in this war against insurgency, like the ambush against Christian Soldiers mostly Igbos in Gorgi village, Borno state. 

(3) Igbo Youths Condole with all the Families especially igbos that lost their loved ones in the ambush in Gorgi Village Borno State, with the frightening battle against coronavirus across Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari  should direct  the Defence Headquarters to change strategy in the war against Boko Haram. Presidency should equip the Nigeria’s Army to fight against Boko Haram.
