Terrorism will soon become history in Nigeria, says Mark
ABUJA—SENATE President, David Mark has again, assured that terrorism will soon become history in Nigeria, saying the level of successes being recorded in the on-going military operations against insurgents in the three states under state of emergency was an indication that the terrorists were fast losing the battle.
“The operation is being handled well and sooner than later, terrorism will soon become part of our history,” a press statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Public Affairs, Kola Ologbondiyan, quoted him as saying while addressing the hierarchy of the parliament of the Czech Republic, Monday.
Mark, at the occasion attended by the Senate President of Czech Republic, Mr. Milan Stech and other principal officers of the parliament, insisted that the operations against militants in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states will ensure the end of terrorism.
“We are conscious that fighting terror is difficult because of factors that dwell on human rights and collateral damages. But the operators of emergency that has been introduced in the area will bring terrorism to its end,” he further said.
Noting that Nigeria had played the role of ensuring stability in Africa, Senator Mark said Nigeria had always been a home to all Africans and expressed regret that the nation came under attacks from misguided extremists.
“This trend became escalated by the situation in Mali, Niger, Libya and Chad but the Federal Government tried to curtail this through appeal and other carrot approaches but this did not quite succeed until the introduction of emergency rule,” he said.
He told the Czech parliamentarians that the National Assembly would continue to create legislative instruments that will deepen democracy.
Earlier Mr. Stech had sympathized with Nigerian government over the Boko Haram attacks
