President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the victims of the suicide bombing in Borno State, describing the criminals responsible for the bombing on Saturday as cowards who would soon face the wrath of justice.

The President stated that security forces’ pressure against the terrorists has weakened their ability to launch attacks.

While consoling all those affected by the attack, President Tinubu assured Nigerians that the government would not allow the nation to slither into an era of fear, tears, sorrow, and blood.

Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity said in a statement on Sunday that Tinubu’s administration would take all necessary measures to protect citizens and bring criminals to justice.

The statement reads: “President Bola Tinubu strongly condemns the bomb attacks, which resulted in the loss of precious lives and the maiming of other citizens in the Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.

“President Tinubu describes 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.

“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.”

Persecondnews recalls that a suicide attack at a wedding in Gwoza, a town in Borno State, by a female with a baby strapped to her back has sent an unknown number of people to the great beyond.

The female suicide bomber stormed the wedding venue at Tashan Mararaba, near the fire service in Gwoza town, where she promptly detonated the IED she used to carry out the attack.

Report said the wedding guests were among the dead, while many others sustained injuries in the attack.
