President Goodluck Jonathan Tuesday at a New Year service held at the Saint Anglican Church in Abuja, said many of the perpetrators of terrorist acts have been arrested and are in custody of security agencies.
Jonathan stated that the breakthrough was as a result of the diligence and steadfastness of law enforcement agents and security operatives across the country.
According to him, members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect who attacked the Police headquarters in Abuja, the United Nations building and Saint Theresa’s Church in Madalla have now been apprehended.
Speaking at the service, the president said; “The church’s prayers have been helping us to stabilise the country at the time of our challenges. There was time when the country was drifting and everyone thought the country would not endure but the prayers rescued us.
“We have moved to another phase of terror, kidnapping and armed robbery but these are momentary challenges. I receive constant briefings on security daily, though we don’t publish them. Most of the terror suspects had been arrested. People may not know what our men in uniform have been doing, they have been doing a lot to check the situation. The people, who bombed Force Headquarters, United Nations building in Abuja and St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Madalla have been arrested.
“We will continue to improve on our security architecture. The New Year will be better for the country. We have a huge population and we will continue to provide employment for our people and encourage entrepreneurship.”
“It’s the ambition to get rich overnight that leads to robbery, kidnapping and it shall be well” he asserted.
