Federal Government Advised to Change Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
Federal Government has been advised to change its Counter-Terrorism strategy from the current law enforcement (reactive) model to a security model (pro-active) in order to minimize the loss of lives that occur after each Boko Haram attack.
The government was also asked not to aim at arresting and prosecuting Boko Haram fighters after they commit acts of mass murder, but prevent terrorist attacks from occurring in the first place.
Nigeria's first chartered security expert, Dr.Ona Ekhomu said despite the abundance of intelligence on the intentions of Boko Haram to attack churches on Christmas Day, the terrorists could not be stopped prior to unleashing their catastrophic attacks on Madala, Jos, Damaturu and Gadaka Town in Yobe State.
Ekhomu warned that since Boko Haram struck on Christmas Day this year, they may likely strike on New Year's Day 2012.
He based this prediction on the fact that the terrorists struck on Christmas eve in 2010 and New Year's Eve in 2010. However,the suicide terrorists changed to Christmas Day this year.
Since past is prologue to the future and the AQN masters of Boko Haram tend to strike on anniversaries and on celebration days in order to maximize fatalities, they will probably carry out more spectacular attacks on New Year's Day 2012", he added.
Ekhomu who is also President of the Association for Industrial Security and Safety Operations of Nigeria described the Madala attack as a hellish act of pre-meditated mass murder, saying the combined and coordinated bombing signature of AI Qaeda network and its affiliate Boko Haram.
Ekhomu said the deliberate targeting of churches in the Xmas day bomb was designed to spark religious crisis in the country. "If Christians engaged in reprisal attacks, then the unity of our nation can no longer be guaranteed".
He advised Christian to disregard the devilish plot of the Bokites to set them against Muslims, explaining that Boko Haram has been bombing mosques and killing Muslims since the inception of their campaign of terror.
The Security Expert urged the Federal Government and it s security agencies to aggressively tackle the Boko Haram threat as it was capable of undermining the confidence of people in the government.
