President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan wholeheartedly condemns the recent
\nterrorist attacks in Kano and Adamawa States as well as the kidnap of the
\nLamido of Kolofata in Northern Cameroon, Lamido Seini Lamine and the wife
\nof the Vice Prime Minister of Cameroon.<\/p>\n
The President describes as shocking, callous and reprehensible the
\nmultiple bomb blasts that occurred in Kano within 24 hours, and the
\nunrelenting attacks by the Boko Haram at a time the Muslim faithful are
\nobserving the holy festival of Eid el Fitri.<\/p>\n
He commiserates with the families of all those who lost their loved ones
\nin the Kano and Adamawa attacks and wishes the injured speedy recovery.<\/p>\n
President Jonathan further notes that the deployment of young women as
\nsuicide bombers represents a new low in the inhuman campaign by these
\nterrorists and an expression of utter disregard for the dignity of the
\nfemale gender as well as a wicked exploitation of the girl-child.<\/p>\n
The President states that the abduction of the Lamido of Kolofata and the
\nwife of the Vice premier of Cameroon clearly underscores the regional
\nsecurity threat that Boko Haram has become.<\/p>\n
He welcomes the recent resolve by the Defence Ministers of Nigeria,
\nCameroon, Chad, Benin and Niger to further strengthen existing
\npartnerships in order to forestall the desperate attempt by misguided
\nelements to turn the sub-region into a battleground for terrorism and
\nradical extremism.
\nPresident Jonathan urges the security forces to remain resolute, and not
\nbe discouraged by the desperation of the agents of evil. He believes that
\nwith the continued cooperation between Nigeria\u2019s security forces and their
\ncounterparts in neighbouring countries, the war against terror will surely
\nbe won.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
