Soldiers’ Killings: Declare Nigeria A Nation At War – Okorocha

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha said with the recent killings of many soldiers by the insurgents in Borno State, Nigeria must declare itself  a nation at war.

Okorocha spoke yesterday when officers from the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) Jaji, paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House, Owerri.

The governor said: “A nation has to be in a serious war to lose 10 soldiers, not to talk about 40 soldiers. So Nigeria must declare itself as a nation at war.

“What I think is happening in the North-East is what was happening here in Imo State when I came in 2011. Owerri was notorious for kidnapping and we were number one State for kidnapping when I came in to the extent that by 5.30 or 6pm everybody had gone home for fear of being kidnapped. But we tackled it and overcame.”

He condoled with the families of the slain soldiers.
