The international community has been asked to rise against the killings of innocent Nigerians by Islamic State of West African Province around the Lake Chad Basin Region.
Save Humanity Advocacy Centre, which made this call on Sunday , said world leaders must act fast to curb the activities of the terrorists around the Lake Chad Basin and the consequent risk this has posed to harmless women and children.
Grace Akatu, Executive Director of the group, while addressing a press conference on Sunday said activities of ISWAP around the Lake Chad Basin region are sources of concern given the way and manner it has continued to maim, harass and kill innocent people that consist mainly of women and children.
The group, therefore, called for urgent intervention from countries around the world to join forces with the Nigerian Authorities in combating the menace of ISWAP around the Lake Chad basin.
“We consequently believe that the urgency of now requires that all the necessary support the world can avail Nigeria should be given in the quest to defeat terrorism in Nigeria, as well as the Lake Chad Basin region. The world must indeed act fast,” the group said.
