President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday admitted that his administration had hitherto been treating terrorists in the country with kid glove. Terrorists, especially members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, have hold sway in the North-East zone in the past three years, killing thousands of citizens in attacks on villages, military and polie facilities, worship houses and drinking joints.
The President said his government had now decided to be more forceful in its approach because of its desire to stamp out terror groups from the country. He spoke in Windhoek, Namibia, during a bilateral talk with President Hifikepunye Pohamba.
