Boko Haram wants televised meeting with Jonathan

In a phone call to the editor of Africa Independent Television (AIT) yesterday, Boko Haram  threatened to unleash bomb attacks in Lagos and Abuja unless President Goodluck Jonathan appears on AIT for an open discussion with them. They promised to carry out their threats if Jonathan does not meet their following requests:

• Goodluck Jonathan should act on the letter written to him by Boko Haram
• Former Governor of Borno (Ali Modu Sheriff), former Minister of Police Affairs and some PDP stalwarts in the North should be arrested and tried for terrorism.
• Government should create an open forum for dialogue at Abuja, open to the public. They said they are ready to come to Abuja for dialogue provided it is an open one.

Personally, I dont think Uncle Jona will go near Boko Haram or meet these requests. So, if you live in Abuja and Lagos, biko, take caution and avoid unecessary crowds. God help us in this country.
