ACTING PRESIDENT JONATHAN

 

 

Nigeria’s Acting President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan on Monday sacked the National Security Adviser; NSA, General Abdullah Muktar Sarki. He was immediately replaced by his recurrent predecessor Aliyu Mohammed Gusau. Muktar was allegedly derelict, sneaky and sneachy. He rejected text messages warning of intended attack against the three christian villages with record casualties who were given mass burial on Monday.

The decision, which is being held, as tactical and strategic came in the wake of his failure to act on intelligence before Sunday morning ethnic purge of unsuspecting victims by Hausa/ Fulani marauders in the suburb of Jos city in North central Nigeria.

Close to eight hundred villagers, mostly women and children were sneakedupon and killed in a genocidal fashion by invaders in a style renascent of Pre- colonial Jihadist raids.

At least, not more than five separate intelligence reports, some times from the traditional ruler of the community of Jos had alerted of a possible reprisal attack from the Hausa/ Fulani community. There had been  face-off between Muslims and christians in the city. The latest was about six weeks ago.

Now there is the expectation that  emergency rule could be declared in Plateau state despite assurances that the situation is now under control. Those who staged yesterday’s pogrom have not been apprehended. They came with guns and machetes at about 2.30am. They raped and decapitated our women and children. “We are defenseless. Our killers enjoy the support of the ruling government “lamented Zainab Luka in a chat with Shapedgenews.com.

A source in Aso Rock , however, told Shapedgenews.com that if the leadership of the ailing President Umaru Musa Yar’adua gave support to the belligerent Hausa\Fulani in the past, the tone and attitude of the Acting President Jonathan is different. “Dr Jonathan wants peaceful co- habitation amongst the people of Plateau state, and indeed all parts of Nigeria.”

It was in further pursuit of the same objectives that the troopswere again ordered out on sunday and security operatives have been ordered to fish out the cowards that would murder women and children like this”

The world’s attention shifted again to Nigeria from Sunday, and the world media spared no mercy in declaring that the killings have again accentuated the believe by the united state that Nigeria is an haven for some characters who have terrorism disposition. United nation secretary General, Banky Moon warned against revenge killings over Sunday's purge.

Acting President Jonathan continues his consultations with the armed forces on Tuesday. Muktar will not be there, his eyes were off the ball, cavorting and conniving with Turai Yar’Adua’s cabal, undermining Jonathan, while Jos smoldered and innocent lives are lost.
