President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has strongly condemned the bomb attacks in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State that resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries. This was conveyed by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, in a statement issued on Sunday.
President Tinubu reaffirmed his dedication to ensuring the safety of all Nigerians, indicating that necessary actions are being implemented to enhance security across the nation. He described the attacks as “desperate acts of terror and a clear manifestation of the pressure mounted against terrorists and the success achieved in degrading their capacity to launch offensives.”
Extending his heartfelt condolences to the victims, their families, and the people of Borno State, Tinubu assured that the government’s security efforts would be intensified to eliminate terrorists and other criminals threatening the country’s peace.
The statement partly reads: “The President declares that the purveyors of wanton violence shall have a certain encounter with justice and that these cowardly attacks are only but an isolated episode as his government will not allow the nation to slither into an era of fear, tears, sorrow, and blood.
“The President states that his administration is taking necessary measures to secure citizens, emphasizing that efforts will be redoubled to ensure that those who trouble the nation, dispatching precious lives, and disrupting law and order are completely removed.
“President Tinubu condoles with the victims of the attacks, the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State.”
