President Goodluck
Jonathan promised yesterday
that by next month, the
security challenge posed by
members of the Boko Haram
sect who have engaged in massive killing and wanton
destruction of property
would change drastically. This
is just as the troops have
killed 60 of the insurgents. Speaking yesterday at the
66th National Executive
Committee, NEC of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP,
President Jonathan who
admitted that the nation’s greatest challenge was that of
insecurity, stressed that what
obtains presently in Nigeria
has gone beyond terror, but
plans to secede where
members of Boko Haram want to install their own
leadership. Commiserating with victims
of killings in Kaduna and Kano
states, the President disclosed
that he would be attending
the United Nations General
Assembly summit on Global Terrorism which all the super
powers would attend. He said: “Nigeria is having an
unfair share. Terror is a global
problem, and Nigeria situation
is going beyond terror. When
terrorists think about holding
ground, attempting to install leadership, it is no longer
terrorism, it is almost like
going into the line of
succession. Between now and
October, things will change. He appreciated the Senate and
the entire National Assembly
for their statement and
joining the government in this
regard, promising to bring it
to an end. Meanwhile, following the
regrouping of Boko Haram
terrorists and a second attack
on Konduga town by the
insurgents on Wednesday
night, the Nigerian Army said another 60 insurgents were
killed in the battle that
ensued. After the confrontation
which lasted from 4pm to
8pm, several military
hardware recovered from the
insurgents included 13 AK-47
rifles, five RPGs, two General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs)
and one anti-aircraft gun. Two Ford Ranger pick-up
vehicles that could be used to
mount anti-aircraft attack
ordnance were also recovered. http://www.pijango..com/?m=1
