Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan
has urged security operatives to stop “mindless attacks” across the country.
He said this on Monday when
officials of the joint task force, code named Operation Delta Safe, and the
Nigerian Navy visited him at his residence in Otuoke, Ogbia local government
area of Bayelsa state.
The officers said the visit was
to ascertain the level of damage following attack on the former president’s
residence by gunmen on Christmas eve.
They said the visit was also to
find necessary solution to prevent recurrence of such attacks.
Although security operatives
repelled the attack, a soldier lost his life.
In his remarks, Jonathan urged
them to be thorough in their investigations. He described the attack on his
residence as “mindless”.
“Be thorough as you seek to bring
the perpetrators to book and ensure that such mindless attack do not happen again
in any part of the country,” Jonathan said.
Akinjide Akinrinade, JTF
commander; Saidu Garba, flag officer commanding, central naval command; and
Saidu Garba, commander, Nigerian Navy Ship Soroh, were among those who visited
him.
