queried the quality of help America is said to be giving
to Nigeria towards the fight against Boko Haram. In an
interview with BBC Africa, Bishop Kaigama wondered
why Boko Haram attacks is still on the increase despite
the reported help America is offering Nigeria
"The question is if the US has been providing
help, intelligence and assisting in one way or the
other, why the growing destruction? Why is the
activities of Boko Haram becoming so
sophisticated? So I wonder the quality of help.
How effective is that help? How can it bring this
situation to a halt? We (Nigeria) certainly need
help to overcome this terrorist group because
they seem to be expanding and growing more
sophisticated in their approach and they are
claiming lives and displacing so many
Nigerians."
He called on the international community to show
genuine concern to issues of terrorism on other parts
of the world and not just Europe..
"Let us act together. It is important to feel
concern when one part of the world is in
trouble. Whether it is in the middle east,
Whether is in the sub saharan africa. whether it
is in Europe or America. I think we should be
genuinely concerned for one another and do
what we can like I see the very positive response
of the french government in tackling the issue of
religious violence after the killings of their
citizens. There have been very very positive and
putting in all they can in order to ensure this
does not happen again. We need that spirit to be
spread around. Not just when it happens in
Europe but when it happens in Nigeria, in Niger,
in Cameroon, in any poor country, that we
mobilize our international resources and
confront the people who bring such sadness to
many families"he said
