Following the recent attack on mourners at a funeral procession in Borno State, which saw over 60 people dead, the action has been condemned by President Muhammadu Buhari.
President Buhari in a statement through his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, stated that the President had received assurance from the armed forces that the terrorists who committed the killings would be dealt with.
“The Federal Government is firmly and resolutely committed to taking necessary measures to safeguard the nation’s security.”
“This administration is determined to end the menace of terrorism,” Shehu quoted President Buhari as saying.
President Buhari revealed that a major exercise has begun to hunt the attackers with air patrols by the Air Force and ground operations by the army.
He assured the people of Maiduguri and the citizens settled in IDP camps that their security will be increased from further attacks by terrorists.
Naija News had earlier reported that insurgents attacked Badu village in Nganzai Local Government Area of Borno and killed over 60 persons and wounded 11 others.
