The Federal Government of Nigeria has been urged by the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government owned Companies, to descend on the Niger Delta Avengers and the Independent People of Biafra, IPOB, with the same vigour as the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East.
The association accused NDA and IPOB of almost crippling the nation's economy and bringing the country to its knee; thus, they believed it was time for the Government to take greater action.
A communiqué signed by the association's President and Secretary, Muhammad Yunusa and M.O. Abogonye, which was made available to journalists in Kaduna on Monday, said, "The NEC (National Executive Council) in session commends Government efforts in fighting insecurity in the country but urges Mr. President to combat the nefarious acts of herdsmen, Independent People of Biafra and the Niger Delta Avengers with the same vigour as Boko Haram insurgency."
