Vice President Kashim Shettima has strongly condemned the bomb explosion that killed about five people and injured several others at a mosque in Gamboru Market, Maiduguri, Borno State, describing the incident as a despicable assault on innocent citizens and the peace of the nation.
In a statement issued on Thursday by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, Office of the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, Shettima said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had ordered an immediate intensification of security operations in the state following the attack, as the Federal Government moved swiftly to prevent further violence and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Shettima disclosed that additional tactical security teams were being deployed to the affected area to track down those responsible for the terror attack at the bustling Gamboru Market area of Maiduguri.
“The Federal Government will not tolerate any attempt to undermine the peace and security of our nation. Our security agencies are working round the clock to ensure that the perpetrators of this heinous crime are brought to justice immediately,” the Vice President said.
