President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday
condemned the latest terrorist attack on Maiduguri,
Borno State capital.


In a statement by the head of his media team, Garba
Shehu, the President warned that his administration
won’t tolerate wanton and wilful destruction of life by
criminal elements that are bent on anarchy. He said
his administration meant business in its
determination to tackle terrorism with all the
resources available to his government. Describing
terrorists as cowardly murderers that target innocent
people, Buhari explained that as the Commander-in-
Chief, he has sworn to protect the security of
Nigerians everywhere. The President, while calling
for increased vigilance by local communities, assured
that his administration would give security close
attention, and that his government was committed to
boosting the morale of the armed forces by
effectively funding them and attending to their
welfare.

He condoled the families of the victims of the latest
terrorist attack on Maiduguri and assured them that
the worst days of the criminal elements will be over
soon.
