President Goodluck Jonathan has declared that Nigeria will no longer treat terrorists in the country with kid gloves.He made this declaration while holding bilateral talks with the Namibian President on thursday,after which both countries signed MOU.
“The issue of global terror is worrisome and in Nigeria, we believe that a terror attack on anywhere in the world is a terror attack on everyone.
“It may be more in one country compare to the other, for instance, in the North-Eastern parts of Nigeria, three states out of 36 states, we are having incidence of terror.
“Initially, we handle it with kid’s glove, but now we have decided to be a little more forceful because we must thrash out these terror groups.
“We must not allow it to continue to slow down economic growth in that part of the country.
“With the terror attacks in that part of the country, the rest of the country feel it because Nigerians live everywhere.
“In these other parts, there is always the fear that if you do not tackle it, it will infiltrate in these other parts.
“We will work together to ensure that terror attack is stamped out globally and in Nigeria, we are committed'',the President said.
