SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, (THEWILL) –President Goodluck Jonathan Wednesday condemned the continuing terrorist assault on Kano and the heinous bombing of the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies on Wednesday.
He similarly deplored the attacks on two mosques in Potiskum, Yobe State on Tuesday.
President Jonathan, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, condemned the repeated targeting of worshippers, and innocent students who are the nation’s future by depraved terrorists.
He said the callous attacks on soft targets fully affirm that the terrorists are nothing but bloodthirsty adherents of a warped and retrogressive ideology.
He maintained that 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 therefore directed the Armed Forces, Police and other national security agencies to further enhance security around educational facilities in states prone to terrorist attacks.
