A civil society group, Coalition Against Terrorism (CATE), has praised the Army’s prompt reversal of its earlier suspension of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) from the Northeast.

• Wants International NGOs To Investigate Compromised Staff

A civil society group, Coalition Against Terrorism (CATE), has praised the Army’s prompt reversal of its earlier suspension of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) from the Northeast.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, National President, Gabriel Onoja, urged international bodies to investigate activities of some compromised UNICEF staffers, who jeopardise remarkable progress of the Nigerian troops.

He said CATE feared there would be several reactions to the initial suspension of UNICEF, which would have constituted distraction to the war against terrorism.
