Following bomb explosions that caused deaths and injuries in parts of Maiduguri, Borno State, including the Monday Market, President Bola Tinubu has ordered security chiefs to the state to restore peace and order.
ThelensNG reports that the explosions followed a concurrent attack by terrorists on three military positions across the state.
Reacting to the incident on Tuesday, President Tinubu described the situation as profoundly upsetting and condoled with those who lost their lives.
He also sympathised with those injured, noting that he stands in solidarity with the people of Borno during this challenging time.
“I want to make it categorically clear that these acts of terror are the final desperate and frantic attempts by criminals and terrorist elements trying to instil and spread fear, as they are under constant pressure from our brave armed forces and security agencies operating in various theatres.
“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,” he said.
President Tinubu stressed that the attacks were desperate acts by evil-minded terrorist groups, assuring that the gallant military and civilian task forces will curtail and defeat them.
He disclosed that during a meeting with leaders of security and intelligence agencies last weekend, he approved additional equipment and operational support to enhance their capabilities.
“This effort is already in progress,” the President stated. “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.”
He further assured that there is no place in Nigeria where terrorists will find safety, emphasising that they will be located, confronted, and completely defeated.
He reiterated that Nigeria will not succumb to fear.
