President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday has described terrorism as a sad event and assured Nigerians that the evil the Boko Haram sect represented would not last forever.
Jonathan made the remark while receiving a report from the presidential fact-finding committee on the abducted Chibok female students at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Jonathan inaugurated the committee on May 6 to provide government with accurate information about the abduction.
The Chairman of the committee is Brig.-Gen. Ibrahim Sabo.
The president said he would not rest until terror was crushed in the country because ``Nigeria can no longer live with the monster called Boko Haram."
Jonathan described the abduction as painful, especially as the Chibok girls were still in the hands of criminal elements.
He reiterated his position that he and the security agencies would not sleep until the girls were rescued.
Jonathan said that terror attack anywhere was an attack on everyone.
He said that contrary to the belief that security agencies were not doing enough to end terrorism, ``they are doing their best but they should do more to end insurgency in the country.’’
Jonathan commended the chairman and members of the committee for their commitment and patriotism in the discharge of their responsibility even at personal risk.
Presenting the report, Sabo confirmed that a total of 219 of the girls were still missing.
