Jonathan Meets Service Chiefs Over Boko Haram Attacks

President Goodluck Jonathan has gathered an emergency meeting with the security chiefs on the spate of insurgents’ attacks in the areas under emergency rule on Friday.

The meeting followed another audacious attack on a military barracks on Thursday night by rampaging insurgents at Bama, the headquarters of Bama Local Government area.

President confirmed the meeting with security chiefs in the morning of Friday while speaking at the decoration ceremony of newly promoted generals of the Armed Forces.

However, he didn't provide any details of the attack, which culminated in the meeting before he attended the decoration ceremony scheduled for 8am.

Meanwhile investigations showed that the Special Forces killed 30 insurgents at a riverside community in Bama while they were trying to get water from the river in the morning on Thursday.
