As a result of the on going menace of the
Boko Haram in the northern part of Nigeria, in which about 20 Police officers
were killed yesterday, The President Goodluck Jonathan warned that the Federal
Government’s consideration of dialogue as an option for the elimination of some
threats to security should not be seen as a weakening of its resolve to use all
the forces at its disposal to crush all brazen affronts to the powers and
sovereignty of the Nigerian nation.
According to Jonathan, the continuation of such
callous attacks on innocent Nigerians, government facilities and security
formations flies in the face of ongoing efforts to establish a workable
framework for dialogue and the peaceful resolution of security challenges in
northern Nigeria.
Jonathan
extended condolences to the families and colleagues of the soldiers, policemen
and prison officials who lost their lives in the dastardly attack.
