SSS accuses communities of shielding Boko Haram members

The Director of the State Security Service in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Mr. Little Okojie, has alleged that some communities are shielding members of Boko Haram from security operatives.
Okojie said the security threat posed by the sect had become seemingly intractable because of the cover provided for the members by communities.
The SSS director also said the sect’s asymmetric mode of operation also contributed to the difficulty in going into meaningful dialogue with them.
Okojie spoke in Abuja while playing host to the newly elected executive members of the Abuja chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists on Wednesday.
He said the situation was further complicated by the fact that intermediaries of the group refuse to disclose the identities of the members of the sect.
