Dargreen: There Will Be No
Compensation For Boko
Haram Victims – President
Jonathan
The victims of the Boko
Haram atrocities may
have had their hope
dashed as President
Jonathan yesterday said
that the Federal
Government will not pay
compensation to them.
According to the President
Jonathan he admitted that
the his administration
have not won the fight
against terror, though
there are progress made
by the country’s security
outfits. Thank you!!!
Speaking while receiving
the report from the
Presidential Committee on
Dialogue and Peaceful
Resolution of Security
Challenges in the North, a
committee which is
chaired by the Special
Duties Minister, Alhaji
Taminu Turaki.
Speaking further President
Jonathan expressed his
dissatisfactionat the rate
of the severe hostility of
the group, especially
against innocent civilian
population, that has given
it name as the as the most
deadly terror group in the
world.
According to Jonathan, he
also expressed hope that
the committee’s
recommendation would
also help in curbing the
immoderation of the sect’s
member to a finish.
He however, ruled out
compensation for victims
of the Boko Haram group
even as he added that his
administration was
sympatheticallywilling
any submission that the
committee has made in
order to help the victims
get back to normal life.
Commending the
committee he said; “it’s
not a ballroom dance
because you were asked
to meet the kind of
characters you cannot
predict their behaviour.
“It is quite risky and I
believe that some of you,
within this period, your
immediate families
believed that if they used
to pray two times, they
will be praying 10 times to
make sure that God see
you through. We are
indeed very happy that
within the period of this
assignment, nothing quite
untoward happened to
any of you. We have to
thank God for that.”
“We have to thank you for
concluding, though we
can’t say that we have
won the war. But listening
to the address by the
chairman, we believe that
the document you have
submitted will help us
with the follow-up action.”
“Finally, we will be able to
bring the issue of the
excesses of Boko Haram
to a close. It is a
challenging period for the
country.”
