Some Nigerian leaders, including Brigadier General Idada Ikponmwen now retired and Dr Kunle Olajide, General Secretary of Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), have decried the reign of terror in the country, just as a prominent Middle Belt leader, Professor Yusuf Turaki, has condemned the lackadaisical posture of state governors in the Northern part of Nigeria.
According to Professor Turaki, Boko Haram and other criminal elements have constituted themselves into authority and formed a government within a government.
Speaking to Sunday Tribune in Jos, Professor Turaki, who was one of the signatories to the document entitled: Notice of Constitutional Grievances Declaration of Constitutional Forces Majeure and Demand for Transitional Process for an Orderly Reconfiguration of the Constitutional Basis of the Federation of Nigeria, said bandits and terrorist groups in the North are gradually taking over the region.
