The Federal Government has been given an ultimatum by Herbalists in the country to probe the alleged sponsors of Boko Haram or else they would personally deal with them(sounds like a threat to me)
The Northern Nigeria arm of the Council of Babalawos (native doctors) went on to ask for a probe on the the alleged involvement of General Azubuike Ihejerika and Senator Ali Modu Sheriff in the activities of the Islamic terrorist sect, Boko Haram.
They had been accused of funding the Boko Haram sect by Dr. Stephen Davis, an Australian negotiator, who claims to have worked with the federal government to get the abducted Chibok girls released.
In a statement released in Bauchi state through the chairman of the council, Fabunmi Aiyesoro, he stated that if no probe was conducted after 40 days, the group would pursue legal action against Sheriff and Ihejerika for the destruction of their shrines in three states and claim monetary compensation for the destruction of forests which serve as a source of livelihood for their members.
According to him, their members source herbs from forests like Sambisa, Biu, Gwoza and Hong and the taking over of these areas by Boko Haram has denied them the opportunity of treating their clients while also stressing that they deserve to be awarded compensation for their shrines that were destroyed by the members of the sect.
He went further to state that many churches and mosques have received compensation from state governments for the destruction of their place of worship, but not one Babalawo has received a condolence message or any form of monetary compensation since the Boko Haram problem started.
