Jonathan Calls On Boko Haram To Surrender

Goodluck Jonathan

The Federal Government has once again called on members of the Boko Haram sect to lay down their arms and engage government in a constructive manner to address their grievances.
President Goodluck Jonathan made the call at an international seminar on the Imperatives of Observance of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Norms in Internal Security holding at the National Defence College, Abuja.
The president also recalled the directives to the service chiefs to ensure that relevant human rights are emphasised in the training of members of the armed forces in the fight against insurgency.
He however expressed regret that the Boko Haram sect does not feel obliged to basic tenets of human rights, describing them as “brutal and removed from modern civilization,” killing innocent citizens at will.
