The death toll following the UN building attack has risen to 23, Martin Dawes also said Sunday that 81 people were wounded in Friday’s attack.
Meanwhile certain experts opine that the bomb explosion incident could have been avoided, they say those charged with tackling the security challenges posed by Boko Haram are playing with the destiny of the nation. One of them was quoted to have said“See how these terrorists strike their targets at will. From tomorrow, you will see the National Security Adviser summoning meetings of security chiefs, you will see them blocking all the exit and entry points in and out of Abuja, yet simple intelligence have been failing them”.
The US and UN in responding to the Boko Haram-UN incident have said the issue (Boko Haram) has now become a matter for the international community. A top UN official, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, who was visibly upset about Friday’s attack, said the perpetrators of the attack on the UN House, “by attacking the UN, are the ones internationalizing the issue and thus requiring international cooperation in response to their awful acts.”
Gambari who is the United Nations and African Union Joint Special Representative to Darfur and an Under Secretary-General, said, “International terrorism requires international response.”
The FG is also preparing to review its strategies in dealing with the Boko Haram saying its most recent act (bombing of UN’s buliding) is an indication that the Boko Haram may not be pursuing any agenda on its own steam but may be controlled by some powerful and influential forces manipulating it political reasons.
