Government is winning the war against terrorism - Goodluck Jonathan On Jos bomb blast

| By Elizabeth Embu

President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians not to despair or be discouraged by the spate of bomb attacks in the country, because "despite seeming appearances to the contrary, government is indeed winning the war against the terrorists and will continue to progressively destroy their ability to unleash murderous attacks on peaceful, law-abiding Nigerians".

The President said this while commiserating with the families of the victims of the bomb attack on the St. Finbarr’s Catholic, Jos, on Sunday morning.

"In this regard, it is worthy of note that in recent weeks national security agencies have identified and arrested more of these agents of darkness than at any other time. Their hideouts and modus operandi are also being consistently exposed," Jonathan said.

He assured Nigerians that the Government would continue to build on its recent success until terrorism is totally defeated in the country with the support, cooperation and solidarity of all patriotic citizens.

Jonathan reiterated his administration’s condemnation of the latest attack and all other terrorist attacks on innocent Nigerians and reassured "all Nigerians and friends of the country that the Federal Government is doing everything possible to end the spate of mindless attacks and killings in parts of the country".

He called on the populace to remain patient and refrain from taking matters into their hands through reprisal attacks. According to him, the "Government continues to take the battle to the merchants of terror and close in on their locations, funding and sponsors".
