Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday hit out at gunmen he called “armed terrorists” who launched attacks on military barracks, a prison and police stations in Bama town in which 55 people were killed.<\/p>\n
A statement released by his office in Abuja said Jonathan warned that his government’s consideration of dialogue with insurgents should not be seen as a sign of weakness.<\/p>\n
“The president warns that the federal government’s consideration of dialogue as an option for the elimination of some current threats to security should not be seen as a weakening of its resolve and determination to use all the forces at its disposal to crush all brazen affronts to the powers and sovereignty of the Nigerian nation.”<\/p>\n
