Jonathan thanks sympathisers, calls for the arrest and prosecution of gunmen

The former President of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has requested that yet-to-be identified gunmen who attacked his Otuoke country home situated in Bayelsa, South-south must be arrested and prosecuted.

While calling for the arrest and prosecution of his attackers, the former President thanked Nigerians for the continuing show of solidarity and sympathy over the gunmen attack in his country home in Otuoke.

Jonathan commended the Nigerian military for their gallantry in repelling the attack by engaging the assailants in a fierce gun deul that unfortunately claimed the life of a soldier.

Jonathan noted that since the assailants attacked his marine security post on December 24, 2019 many Nigerians of different social status, including President Muhammadu Buhari, state Governors and political party leaders as well as foreigners had either visited him or called to express their heartfelt sympathy over the unfortunate attack in his house.

He also reiterated his call on the concerned security authorities to expose and bring the criminals to book as a means of ensuring that such dare-devil criminality did not happen again in his community or any other place in the country.
