President Goodluck Jonathan has revealed that the masterminds of the tragic Nyanya bombings have been arrested by law enforcement officials. The President disclosed this whilst interacting with media men at the end of the World Economic Forum Africa which held in Abuja on Wednesday to Friday. 
Jonathan said that the security officials were interrogating the culprits and would soon have information on their financiers and sponsors.

The President also revealed that his administration had made $10 million available to match grants from international donors to prosecute the efforts to return the missing girls who were abducted from Chibok last month.

The President said his administration had declared a total war on Boko Haram and would not negotiate with them, but rather rout it out of existence in the country. He said; 

“Boko Haram is a terror group and as journalists you should know the meaning of terror. Before the 9/11 no body in the US or UK imagined the dimension of terrorists in the world. You can not be too sure of what ideology that drives their leaning. Sometimes, it is from the religious sentiments… but   we need to combine so many factors to underscore their driving spirit . But I want to advice that the terrorists should also know that they don’t do certain things and get away with it because most of these activities are criminal offenses and they should know that when they are caught, they would pay dearly for it. 

“For instance, I can tell you that the masterminds of the last Nyanya bomb blast have been arrested and would face the long arm of the law.

“I want to assure also that sooner than later, the abducted Chibok school girls would also be rescued with the help of the global community and we will use remote sensing technology to smoke them out to face the consequences,”  

Welcomed development!
