Angered by the killing of about 103 people in some communities of Faskari local government area in Katsina right under his nose, President Goodluck Jonathan who is on a 2-day official visit to the state last night ordered the Nigerian Army to ransack the Rugu Forest and ensure that the insurgents are all fished out.
Speaking at a dinner reception organised for him by the Katsina State government at the Government House Banquet Hall, Jonathan regretted that the rugu forest which borders about four states of Katsina, Zamfara, Niger, Kaduna and a neighbouring country of Niger Republic meant for economic purposes had become safe haven for terrorists who are launching attacks in the states.
He also directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to immediately swing into action and deliver relief materials to the affected communities.
