'NIGER DELTA MILITANTS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED ON KUJE BOMB BLAST'- NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suggested
that the security agencies should also beam its
searchlight on some militant groups in the Niger
Delta region.
NLC said some groups in the oil-rich region had
planned to resume violent attacks against
Nigerians and the Nigerian State.
The congress in a statement by its president,
Comrade Ayuba Wabba said the ongoing
investigation should not be narrowed down to the
Islamic insurgents, Boko Haram.
He said the latest attacks were particularly
dangerous as they were carried out at night and
in locations where late purchases were made.
The NLC president said, “One of the locations,
Kuje is on the route to our major international
airport. The attacks may have been a devious
façade to rubbish the victories of our national
army and other security agencies in the battle to
rid our country of terrorism and all its residues
before the global community. They want the world
to believe our country is not safe.
“For us at the Nigeria Labour Congress, we believe
this latest attacks should not weaken the morale
of the forces involved in the battle against
terrorism in our country, rather it should
reinvigorate their fighting spirits and be seen by
government as a challenge to arm our forces with
more sophisticated and superior weapons both for
intelligence gathering and combat.”
“The freedom of those who sponsor deadly
violence put the entire country on timed bombs
that can explode at will. No matter how highly
placed, whoever have been indicted should
immediately be apprehended and reinvestigated
now,” part of the statement read.
