ABUJA—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.
