Amid 24-hr Curfew In Borno: Surrender And Embrace Amnesty Now, JONATHAN Warns by OuchDaddy(m): 1:37am On May 19, 2013 |
By Ben Agande, Kingsley Omonobi, Ndahi Marama, Tony Nwankwo *Residents flee air raids *Northern govs plead: Avoid civilian casualty A press release by the JTF spokesman, Musa, said, “In order to sustain the ongoing Special Operations in the face of recent Boko Haram attacks in some areas within Maiduguri metropolis, the JTF is imposing 24hours curfew with effect from today (Saturday), 18 May, 2013”.. He stated that the areas/wards include Gamboru- Customs Area, Mari Kuwait Area of University of Maiduguri, Bakin Kogi Area and Kasuwan Shanu-Kofar Biyu Area. Other areas under the 24hours curfew are Rawan Zafi- Customs Area, 202 Housing Estate, Bama Road, 303 Housing Estate Bama Road, Dakiwa Lowcost Housing Estate. Also affected are Simari-Zannari-Kwanan Yobe Area, 505 Abba Gana Terab Housing Estate, Muna Garage Road, Chad Basin Muna Garage Road, Baga Road Federal Lowcost Area, Bolori, Jajeri and Umamari Area. The JTF appealed to the public to continue to cooperate with security agencies by providing credible and timely information which will assist the troops in carrying out their assignment. The statement said JTF operatives could be reached on phone numbers 08064174066, 07085464012, 08154429346 and 08142333138 to pass on information on terror activities. `LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS’ Hinting that the option of dialogue was still open to the Boko Haram insurgents, President Jonathan asked them, yesterday, to surrender. “Those (insurgents) who are willing to dialogue and lay down their weapons can approach the National Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution on the Security Challenges in Northern Nigeria. The work of that Committee remains significant and relevant, and it is bound to be impactful”, the president, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Mr Reuben Abati, in an interview with Sunday Vanguard, said. He declared that “there can be no illusion of simplicity where the fight against terrorism is involved.” Jonathan noted that “terrorists strike at will with deadly cruelty”, adding, “The overriding consideration (in imposing emergency rule) is the peace, security and stability of Nigeria. While the option of dialogue and peaceful resolution is being pursued, government will also not condone impunity of any sort, or the obvious attempt by terrorists to create and run an enclave within the Nigerian state. “If anyone is in doubt, the Commander in Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces has made it clear: this government will not tolerate any attempt to violate the sovereignty of Nigeria. Those who are willing to dialogue and lay down their weapons can approach the National Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution on the Security Challenges in Northern Nigeria. The work of that Committee remains significant and relevant, and it is bound to be impactful.” ...Source : www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/amid-24-hr-curfew-in-borno-surrender-and-embrace-amnesty-now-jonathan-warns/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |
