Terrorists Cant Intimidate Govt.-Jonathan

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan deplores the continuing terrorist

assault on Kano and the heinous bombing of the Aminu Kano College of
Islamic and Legal Studies today, saying such act cannot intimidate the
Government.

He similarly deplores the attacks on two mosques in Potiskum, Yobe State
yesterday.

President Jonathan condemns the repeated targeting of worshippers, and
innocent students who are the nation’s future by depraved terrorists.

He believes that the callous attacks on soft targets fully affirm that the
terrorists’ are nothing but bloodthirsty adherents of a warped and
retrogressive ideology.

No amount of intimidation and violence would stampede the government into
abandoning its goal of giving education a new lease of life and opening up
access to all young Nigerians who wish to improve themselves.

President Jonathan has therefore directed the Armed Forces, Police and
other national security agencies to further enhance security around
educational facilities in states prone to terrorist attacks.
