Friday Olokor, AbujaThe presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Dr Obiageli Ezekwesili, has called for an investigation panel to probe into the reported killing of 700 Nigerian soldiers in Baga by suspected Boko Haram terrorists. The news reports also claimed that over 2,000 Nigerians soldiers had been declared missing. According to Ezekwesili in a statement on Monday, the security situation in the country shows lack of effective leadership by President Muhammadu Buhari. Ezekwesili said, “This is demonstrated in the very troubling inertia to decisively confront and end the frequent killing of our citizens; especially our soldiers in the front line of battle. Our ACPN administration would without fail prioritise this.”Copyright PUNCH.
