Leaders of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum have expressed concern at what they describe as the complacency of the Nigerian Security Forces at the ‘invasion’ of their states by almajirai teenagers from some sections of the country in the north hidden in containers and trailers despite the ban of interstate movements by the President Muhammadu Buhari.
 
In a statement signed by Edwin Clark (Pandef), Ayo Adebanjo (Afenifere), John Nwodo (Ohanaeze Ndigbo) and Dr. Bitrus Pogu (Middle Belt Forum), the Forum said that the development is coming after Boko Haram threatened openly that they were going to take their battle against Nigeria to the South East and South South. It said what was more worrying is  the quietness of the national security agencies , the presidential Covid-19 Committee and the Presidency since the story broke out.  
 
It said the capacity of the young men to escape security checks until they reach many states in the South and Middle Belt and nearly the whole country  points to a strong collaboration and asks all Nigerians to be vigilant. 
 
 
“This ominous development is coming after Boko Haram threatened openly  three weeks ago that they were going to take their battle against Nigeria to the South East and South South. Very worrisome in this development is  the quietness of the national security organisations, the national Covid-19 committee and the Presidency since this story broke out.  
”This development has brought about very strong suspicions amongst   people regarding the aim of the deployment of these young men. Their capacity to escape all border security checks until they reach many States in the South and Middle Belt and nearly the whole country  points to a strong collaboration.  SMBLF asks all Nigerians at the receiving end  to be vigilant. 
 
“We will certainly not fold our arms and allow massive influx of youths who have no reason to flout extant laws on interstate movements, no pressing national engagement in our areas, no verifiable occupation, no tests for Covid-19 and no pre-arranged accommodation to come and forcibly occupy our forests and perhaps prosecute the threat of Boko Haram. 
“The silence of the Federal government in this situation is ominous. The maneuvers appear deliberately planned and provocative. We will resist any threats to our invasion and the security of our lives and property with every amount of self – help available to us. To avoid further descent to an uncontrollable situation,we call on the Federal government to publicly declare this invasion illegal, direct our National Security Organisations to flush them out now and ensure that they do not return. We need to be reassured there is a government here.
“Not too long ago  General Theophilus Danjuma warned us to be ready for self – help. We hope that his predictions have not become inevitable and that our country  can be saved a slide into lawlessness and its disastrous consequences. A stitch in time saves nine! We call on our people to be vigilant. How can we endure sporadic killings in the hands of herdsmen in ‘normal’ times and Almajirai invasion under pandemic? ” the forum said.
