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.
