Boko Haram terror in Kano: Jonathan meets Dasuki, others

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday
met with the National Security Adviser
(NSA), Mr. Sambo Dasuki, and some
security chiefs. The meeting followed
renewd insurgency in Kano and killing of
22 civilians in Borno State.
The President ordered tight security
measures nationwide, especially in flash
points.
But there were indications that security
agencies have launched a manhunt for
those behind the explosions in Sabon Gari
in Kano.
A source said the President reviewed the
security situation with the NSA and others
to protect lives and property in any part
of the country.
A source, who pleaded not to be name
last night, said: "The President is
concerned that the explosions had re-
occurred in Kano. He insisted that the
gains recorded against the insurgents
must be sustained.
"He mandated security agencies to
enforce tight security nationwide,
especially in flash points in emergency
states of Adamawa,
Borno and Yobe.
"One of the areas to be addressed now is
the recourse to ambush by Boko Haram
which amounted to a change of tactics.
"The military and other security agencies
are already rising to the latest challenge."
Security agencies are considering clues on
a group suspected to be behind the
Monday night explosions in Kano.
