From PAULINE PODKA, Abuja
President Bola Tinubu has vowed that Nigeria under his watch shall not slide into an era of blood, sorrow, tears, and fears.
He has also declared that those who carry out wanton violence in the country will face the wrath of the law as his government will not allow them to evade justice
The President was reacting to the recent terrorist bomb attacks, which led to loss of lives and the maiming of other citizens in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State.
Tinubu, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, said that the cowardly attacks by terrorists and criminal elements were isolated incidents.
The statement read: “President Bola Tinubu strongly condemns the bomb attacks, which resulted in the loss of precious lives and the maiming of other citizens in 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 isolated episodes 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, however, condoled with the victims of the attacks, the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State.
