Terrorism: Jonathan to Mark Independence Within Villa

President Goodluck Jonathan will on Monday (today) mark the country’s 52nd independence anniversary within the confines of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, contrary to the previous practice of holding such events at the Eagle Square in Abuja.

The indoor independence celebration started last year when Jonathan opted for  a brief ceremony  within his official residence in the face of the prevalent insecurity in the country.

Like last year’s celebration, only a few accredited personalities will be allowed into the indoor venue. But the event will be transmitted live by both the Nigerian Television Authority and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria  from 10am.
