Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh has said that the activities of terrorists in the North is killing the future of the region.
Speaking to board members of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency in Abuja (NOSDRA), in Abuja, yesterday, Badeh said all Nigerians should sympathize with the North.
He said, “What is happening in our country, most especially in northern Nigeria, is pure madness, and we are killing the future of that region. It’s a pity. All of us here should sympathise with those of us who come from that region.
“We are hoping and while we are fighting, we are also praying so that we can get over this madness. It is unfortunate that those girls were kidnapped. It is not about the number that really matters but the fact is; peoples’ children have been kidnapped.
“We can’t go with our armoury to where they are; otherwise, we will go and kill them. If you go and kill them, then, you will not have achieved anything. But I know we will get those girls. I know we will get them.”
Badeh promised NOSDRA of the cooperation of security agencies in fighting oil spills in the country.
