President GoodLuck Jonathan Says NO COMPENSATION FOR BOKO HARAM VICTIMS

President Goodluck Jonathan declared, yesterday, that the Federal Government would not pay compensation to victims of Boko Haram’s atrocities. He also said despite the progress made by the nation’s security services in their fight against the sect’s insurgency, his administration could not be said to have won the war against terror. He spoke, yesterday, when the Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North submitted its report. The committee was chaired by the Minister of Special Duties, Alhaji Taminu Turaki. He expressed regret at the extreme violence of the group, especially against innocent civilian population, which had earned it a reputation as the most deadly terror group in the world.
