Buhari Condemns Latest Boko Haram Attacks.

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the latest
terrorist attacks on Borno and Yobe communities by the
Boko Haram bandits.

In a strongly worded statement issued by his Senior

Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba
Shehu, the President said he was deeply touched by
the “mindless incidents of violence” on innocent people
during the month of Ramadan.

According to President Buhari, the terrorists are
enemies of everybody, and enemies of humanity
everywhere.

He explained that no sane people who believe in any
god would be destroying the lives of innocent people in
cold blood, adding that terrorists do not represent any
religion.

The President said that the pattern of their
indiscriminate violence against innocent people shows
that they represent nothing else but anarchy and
devilry.

In what appears to be one of his toughest expressions
of outrage, President Buhari reminded the Boko Haram
terrorists of his uncompromising resolve to tackle them
with all the resources at the disposal of his
government.

“Make no mistake about it, this government is ever
determined to discharge its fundamental duty of
protecting the lives of its citizens from physical threats
from any groups bent on creating chaos, confusion, and
on destroying social and economic life of the people”,
he further warned.

President Buhari, who extended his sympathy to the
families of the victims, reassured all Nigerians that his
government would never tolerate terrorist blackmail,
and that the security forces would confront the Boko
Haram bandits to the last man.

He promised that the terrorists, whom he described as
“cowards who lack any moral inhibition and any iota of
humanity to reason compassionately”, would not find
Nigeria a safe haven, because they would be “hunted
down without mercy and compromise.”

He reassured Nigerians that security would be tackled
by his administration with vigorous determination.

The President, however, advised Nigerians to show
more vigilance and be alert to the presence of
suspicious people around them, adding that  “the
terrorists are enemies of religion and humanity.”

He explained that “no true believers in any God would
target worshipers, holy places, or people who are
fasting and other innocent Nigerians.”

Five people were killed and 15 others injured after two
female suicide bombers attacked a hospital in Molai
area of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State in
northeastern Nigeria on Saturday.

More than 100 people have reportedly been killed in
northeast Nigeria in the past few weeks in a spate of
bombings, mostly in Maiduguri.
