Britain Cautions FG Against Using Military To Tackle Boko Haram Crisis

British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright, has cautioned the federal government against the use of military option as a measure to tackle the resurgence of militancy and other criminality in the Niger Delta region.
British High Commissioner said this in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, shortly after his courtesy visit to the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo.

He advocated for dialogue as part of a comprehensive approach that should be adopted by the Nigerian government to address the situation, adding that force alone may not bring about a lasting solution to the Niger Delta issue.
The Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), in its latest attack, today blew up Shell’s exportline in Forcados, Delta State, one of three new attacks in the Niger Delta region the group claimed to have perpetrated.
The federal government, tired of the incessant attacks, had responded by deploying troops to the area, but the attacks have continued.
