Nigerian soldiers, on Wednesday, proved their ability to contain
the insurgency in the North East when they moved against the Boko Haram sect,
killing about 60 of their members during repeated attempts to enter Konduga,
about 70 kilometres to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. In a statement, the
military said the icing on the cake of Nigerian troop’s victory of the day was
capture of a high ranking terrorists’ leader who was seriously wounded and is
currently being treated in a military medical facility. Meanwhile, the blast
that happened at the Federal College of Education, Kano has been described by
the Federal Government as a great challenge for all Nigerians, revealing that
government would re-strategize security plan in schools across the nation. This
was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, when he led
the Federal Government’s delegation to the college and Murtala Mohammed
Specialist Hospital, where some of the victims were admitted, yesterday.
Shekarau stated that security of schools and the society at large is not a
one-sector practice, urging members of the community to always beef up their
watch against anything they consider threat to their security. The Emir of
Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, also paid a visit to the victims at the hospital. He
prayed for the reposed souls of the departed ones. He also urged the injured
victims receiving treatment to go back to school when they are discharged from
hospital.
