Borno attacks: Culprits shall have encounter with justice, says Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has condemned the suicide bombers attacks on wedding guests in the Gwoza LGA of Borno state. 

Several people were killed and many injured on Saturday after two suspected suicide bombers attacked wedding guests at Marraraban Gwoza in Borno.

In a statement on Sunday, Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, said Tinubu described 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 an isolated episode as his government will not allow the nation to slither into an era of fear, tears, sorrow, and blood,” the statement reads.

“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 condoles with the victims of the attacks, the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State.”
