The North-East Peace Congress (NEPC) says ex-Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, should be blamed for the worsening insecurity in the region.
According to the group, the Borno Central lawmaker championed the call for the removal of the immediate past Service Chiefs, a move it says has resulted in calamity.
Since the retirement of the former military heads in January, the insecurity across the nation has deteriorated. From insurgency in the North-East, a new wave of kidnapping is the days order in the North-West and North-Central while secessionist has taken the South-East and South-West.
But in a statement signed by its chairman, Sadiq Ali, on Wednesday, the NEPC said all these would have been avoided had the immediate service chiefs remained in office.
Ali said Shettima spearheaded the advocacy to reshuffle the military architecture, hence should be held responsible for the implication.
The group, however, demanded that the Senator tell the world the truth behind his agenda, knowing full well the outcome that will follow.
