Aisha Yesufu, Human rights activist and a co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls Movement, has warned that the Boko Haram terrorists would attack Southern Nigeria once they have destroyed the Northern part of the country.
The activist issued the warning while cautioning Nigerians against being less concerned about the plight of the North, stressing that no region is immune to the sect’s violence.
She noted that fighting terrorism is everyone’s business and should be condemned by all and sundry.
This is coming at a time Boko Haram killed several rice farmers in Zabarmari, Jere Local Government Area of Borno State.
The terrorist group also abducted 333 boys of Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, Katsina State.
Claiming responsibility, the sect had said the abduction was to promote Islam and discourage western education in the North.
The horrible incident was the latest among horrendous assaults of the insurgents ravaging the northern part of the country, which began in Borno State in 2009.
In a series of tweets, Yesufu insisted that terrorism was a menace to all Nigerians.
She wrote: “When Boko haram is done with the North they will face the South. If you think this is none of your business, some thought it wasn’t their business when it was happening in the North East, now it is.
“Terrorist attack to anyone anywhere is a terrorist attack to everyone everywhere.”
When Boko haram are done with the North they will face the South. If you think this is none of your business, some thought it wasn't their business when it was happening in North East now it is.
Terrorist attack to anyone anywhere is terrorist attack to everyone everywhere

Yesufu’s statement has, however, drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians.
Some of the respondents said that the Northern leaders always see the agenda of the Southerners against bad governance as a threat to the North, citing the case of the EndSARS protests, in which the northern governors were against the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.

I bet with my life Boko Haram can't come to Igbo Land and kill and still escape Igbo Land. We have a way to counter such without the help of security agent. North should forget about security agent fish out who are the Boko Haram because they are not spirit rather humans in North
