President Jonathan Request An Extension Of Emergency Rule In Borno, Yobe, Adamawa For Another Six Months
President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday morning has sent a
request to the National Assembly to approve the extension of emergency
rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states by another six months
The extension needs to be approved by both chambers of the National Assembly.
The state of emergency was declared in May 2013 as part of government efforts to address the violent activities of Boko Haram rebels. It was extended for six months in November.
During the Presidential Media Chat on May 4, Jonathan said the emergency rule might be prolonged as it was necessary for the military to tackle the insurgency in the North-East on Nigeria.
"Terrorism is not a phenomenon a six months or one year state of emergency can solve," the president said.
Some politicians, however, opposed this idea. The governors of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, who are in the opposition All Progressives Congress, said earlier that the emergency rule had failed to achieve its goal.
No fewer than two thousand people have been killed by Boko Haram insurgents in the three states in 2014 alone. Tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes to other Nigerian states or abroad.
One of the most appalling crimes committed by the Islamist sect has been the abduction of more than 200 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, a month ago. The girls have been missing since then.
Nigerian military and the international community have joined forces to rescue the teenagers.

A group of foreign military experts, including one of the top
U.S. Generals, David Rodriguez, have arrived to Nigeria as a part of
assistance programme in search and rescue of kidnapped GGSS Chibok schoolgirls.
General David M. Rodriguez, the U.S. Army
An unnamed military source of LEADERSHIP in Abuja revealed this information on May 12, 2014, Monday. The decision to send a team of defence and security experts to Nigeria was made during the talk between the U.S. Secretary of the State, John Kerry, and President Goodluck Jonathan on May 6, 2014. The total number of U.S. experts working in Nigeria is about 30 people. The practical side of U.S. aid may include aerial support in form of deployment of drones. General Rodriguez may play an important coordinating role in it. The general became the third commander of US Africa Command (USAFRICOM) in Stuttgart, Germany, on April 5, 2013. The US Africa Command is one of six unified geographic combatant commands within the Department of Defence unified command structure.
Rodriguez has commanded at every level while his previous assignment was Commanding General of the US Army Forces Command. The renowned general’s additional commands include the International Security Assistance Force – Joint Command (IJC) in Afghanistan; the 82nd Airborne Division; 2nd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division; and 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
