 Following increasing wave of terrorism in the country, foreign
diplomats, yesterday, cried out to the Federal Government for
protection. The diplomats took their case to the government on a day Senate
President, David Mark warned the Boko Haram sect that there is a limit
to which the country can tolerate their bomb attacks which have claimed
several lives.

The Senate President therefore challenged
northern leaders to own up if the problem of Boko Haram is beyond them,
saying the sect’s terrorist activities will break up Nigeria if they
fail to stop them.
