President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the government and people of Borno state over the recent terrorist attacks describing it as the terrorists final desperate and frantic attempts to instill, and spread fear as they come under constant pressure from brave armed forces and security agencies operating in various theatres. A statement the President personally signed says it “is profoundly upsetting. I mourn those who lost their lives, sympathise with the injured and stand in solidarity with the people of Borno during this challenging time.
We will continue to intensify our efforts against all criminal elements, wherever they may be.
I must commend the courage and fighting spirit of our patriotic troops who successfully repelled the coordinated attacks by these terrorists on military positions in the state.
it adds, the Monday attacks were desperate acts of the evil-minded terrorist groups. Our gallant military and civilian task forces will curtail and put them down.
Just last weekend, during a security meeting with leaders of security and intelligence agencies, I approved additional equipment and operational support to enhance their capabilities. This effort is already in progress.
Additionally, I have directed security chiefs to move to Maiduguri to take charge of the situation. I have also directed the emergency agencies to provide proper care for the injured.
There is no place in Nigeria where terrorists will find safety. We will locate them, confront them, and completely defeat them.
Nigeria will not succumb to fear. It concludes.
