Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, has explained he would again support another US military airstrikes against insurgents operating in parts of North-East Nigeria.
Ndume made the remarks on Friday while speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He said his call is being driven by the prolonged activities of Boko Haram insurgents in communities within his constituency, particularly around the Mandara Mountains.
According to the lawmaker, insurgents have maintained a presence in the mountainous areas for over a decade, forcing residents to flee their homes and farmlands.
He said sustained and consistent military offensives are necessary to eliminate the group and enable displaced persons to return home.
