Liberia: Nigeria Boko Haram Hideout In Liberia?----Rev. Blamo. When some Liberian politicians are busy selfishly seeking political power and corrupting the resources of our people others are taking advantage of our weak and corrupt system to destabilize our nation. Terrorism is spreading now. Nobody needs to tell you that Boko-Haram is next door in Nigeria. Some are using Liberia as a sleep-out where they come and sleep when they do their thing. They come as Nigerian businessmen to sleep after a period of time, they lost and returned to Nigeria. They commit the act, when they are being searched for, they run to Liberia. From Liberia to Nigeria is not far. You have to look at it critically because the election is coming; you need protection here and at home. There is a need for some kind of legislation that will protect Legislators. Monrovia - The Director designate of the elite security guard, the Executive Protection Service (EPS) Mr. Frank Nyekan has revealed that Liberia is being used as a hide-out for leaders of Nigeria Islamic terrorist group Boko-Haram. Mr. Nyekan made the revelation Tuesday when he appeared before the Senate committee on security and intelligence for confirmation. Boko Haram is an Islamic militant and terrorist organization based in the northeast of Nigeria. Founded by Mohammed Yusuf in 2002, the organization seeks to establish a pure Islamic state ruled by Sharia Law putting a stop to what it deems Westernization. The group is known for attacking Christians and government targets, bombing churches, attacking schools and police stations, kidnapping western tourists, but has also assassinated members of the Islamic establishment. Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2001 and 2013. Speaking before the Senate Committee on Defense and Intelligence Tuesday, the EPS boss-designate alarmed: Terrorism is spreading now. Nobody needs to tell you that Boko-Haram is next door in Nigeria. Some are using Liberia as a sleep-out where they come and sleep when they do their thing. They come as Nigerian businessmen to sleep after a period of time, they lost and returned to Nigeria. They commit the act, when they are being searched for, they run to Liberia. From Liberia to Nigeria is not far. You have to look at it critically because the election is coming; you need protection here and at home. There is a need for some kind of legislation that will protect Legislators. The EPS director-designate made the comment as he sought to convince members of the national legislature of the need to institute good security measures for their safety, through training of a special group that will be charged with the responsibility of providing that August body with security.
