It has been reported that the United States Congress yesterday announced that it would conduct a special public hearing next week on the issue of Boko Haram and terrorism in Nigeria.
Congressman, Chris Smith, who led a delegation of the US Congress Committee on African Affairs to a meeting with the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, reportedly says that some of the hearing will guide the United States Government on the next line of action regarding the growing insurgency in northern Nigeria.
He says said: “Boko Haram is an organ that has absolutely misread the Koran. Killing the refugees is something of concern to the American Government. Next week, we will hold a public hearing on Boko Haram and terrorism.”
