naijablog: Community-policing as the answer to Boko Haram

Saturday, January 21, 2012

Excellent article by Olly Owen on a potential 'quiet' solution to the menace of Boko Haram here.

Anonymous, 1:44 am: I think Boko Haram has gone beyond the level of what community policing can solve. Community policing could have nipped Boko Haram in the bud, but Boko Haram has metamorphosed into some thing much bigger.

Boko Haram is many things - an ideology, a religious movement, a platform for the weakest members of society to tweak the noses of the most powerful, an Islamist terrorist organisation.

Boko Haram's appeal to the unemployed youth of Northern Nigeria is difficult to resist - and community policing will not remove it.

Anonymous, 2:00 pm: Damn with what you think man. This isn't an islamist organisation neither terrorist but a group of young men trying to accomplish some personal objectives of their. Mind your word please, who ever you are and what ever you think of......First anonymous!!!
