Bombings: Jonathan meets security chiefs again, gives fresh orders
For the second time in 24 hours, President Goodluck Jonathan held an emergency meeting with the nation's security chiefs, tasking them on the need to immediately fish out the sponsors of the Boko Haram sect.
The meeting, which held at the Presidential Villa, was without the service chiefs.
The President was said to have challenged them to put an end to the violence being foisted on the nation by members of the sect.
Those at the meeting wore forlorn faces as they emerged from the venue. The National Security Adviser, Gen. Andrew Owoye Azazi, was not in the mood to entertain questions from reporters as his driver zoomed out of the premises after banging the car door.
Others who were present at the meeting include Vice President, Namadi Sambo, the Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, Director General State Security Service (SSS), Ita Ekpenyong, and Director-General, Nigeria Intelligence Agency (NIA), Olaniyi Oladeji.
The President reiterated his earlier warning that any security chief who fails to act on information would bear the brunt as the country would no longer tolerate a situation where such negligence would lead to the deaths of the citizens.
Speaking with reporters, Rimgim said the meeting was convened to appraise and evaluate the security situation on ground.
