Shun Any Form Of Negotiation With The Boko Haram Sect, Group Warns FG

A socio-political organisation, Coalition Against Terrorism and Extremism, on Thursday in Abuja called on the Federal Government to shun any form of negotiation with the Boko Haram sect.

The organisation also commended the military for wiping out the Boko Haram sect from the North-East.

“Any attempt to negotiate with terror groups in the country will rather serve as open invitation from other miscreants to hold the nation’s peace to ransom in anticipation of financial and other selfish aggrandisement as suggested for Boko Haram”, CATE said.

The Secretary-General of CATE, Daniel Obaje, made the demand when he led a protest march to the Ministries of Defence and Information and the Nigerian Army Headquarters.

He advised the government not to allow any group or sect to hold the nation to ransom through unreasonable demands.

Manchester City Contest Aguero Violent Conduct Charge

Manchester City will contest a charge of violent conduct against Argentina striker Sergio Aguero, according to British media reports on Thursday.

Aguero was charged retrospectively by the Football Association after appearing to elbow West Ham defender Winston Reid in the second half of City’s Premier League win at Eastlands on Sunday.

Reid was seen holding his neck after the incident, which was missed by referee Andre Marriner and his fellow officials.

Aguero had been given until 1700GMT on Thursday to respond to the charge, which was issued after a review panel felt he should have been sent off.

If Aguero is found guilty he could be suspended for City’s next three domestic matches, including the derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford on September 10.A date for a disciplinary hearing will now be determined.
