The federal government has expressed profound condolences to the families of the victims of Tuesday’s suicide bombing of an IDP camp in Dikwa, Borno State, and also the entire people and government of the state.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, in a statement by his Media Aide, Laolu Akande, prayed that the Almighty God will comfort them and grant the injured persons quick recovery.
The Vice President stated that it is indeed regrettable that the heartless terrorists chose to unleash their wickedness on people who were taking refuge from previous acts of destruction in their homes.
He reassured the nation that the full weight of the federal government’s force will be deployed to hunt down the perpetrators of this evil act and also to confront terrorists continuously in the protection of life, liberty and property of all Nigerians: there will be no hiding place for terrorists.
Prof. Osinbajo has given directives that formidable security in and around the IDP Camps in the country be beefed up and renewed measures put in place to guard against future occurrences.
Finally, the Vice President called on the people of Borno State and all Nigerians that the commitment of the federal government to safety of lives and property continues to be of paramount concern to the Buhari administration.
