"Mr President, the actions of the Boko Haram group are outrageous and fanatical acts of hatred for which there must be a commitment to judicial accountability. I would urge the High Representative to put in place now arrangements to ensure that they know that they will be called to account.
This group has been waging an insurgency against Nigeria’s Government since 2009 and has been blamed for hundreds of killings and gun and bomb attacks. In the past six months, they have widened their targets beyond the police and other authority figures to include Christian worshippers. They have bombed churches in the cities of Jos and killed 185 people as we have heard.
In any society, this is totally unacceptable. But I also want to raise the fact that Nigeria is the world’s eighth largest oil producer and yet the majority of its 145 million inhabitants live below the poverty line.
I believe this is something that the High Commission should be raising not just with the Nigerian Government but also with the producers and the developers of these oil products. We must go after those who are pursuing these heinous crimes but also try to bring some influence to bear on the oil producers at the same time."@en1
