…Sanwo-Olu Condoles With Zulum, Borno Govt

ABUJA – President Bola Tinubu has de­scribed the recent bomb attacks in Borno State 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.

He condemned the attack in strong terms, especially as it resulted in the loss of precious lives and the maiming of other citizens.

The attack occurred in Gwoza Local Government Area of Bor­no State at the weekend.

Tinubu warned that the pur­veyors of wanton violence shall have a certain encounter with justice, and that these cowardly attacks are only but an isolated episode.

In a statement by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale, on Sunday, Tinubu said his government will not allow the nation to slither into an era of fear, tears, sorrow, and blood.

He said his administration is adopting necessary measures to secure citizens, emphasising that efforts will be redoubled to ensure that those who trouble the nation, dispatching precious lives, and disrupting law and order are completely removed.

According to the president, “I condole with the victims of the attacks, the families of the de­ceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State”.

Sanwo-Olu Condoles With Zulum, Bor­no Govt Over Multiple Bomb Attacks

Meanwhile, Lagos State gov­ernor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has sympathised with the gov­ernment and people of Borno State, particularly the Governor Babagana Zulum, on the multiple bomb attacks, which resulted in the death of some people, leav­ing several others injured in the Gwoza Local Government Area of the state.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a condolence message issued on Sunday by his Special Advis­er on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, expressed his sympathies to the immediate families of the victims as well as the entire residents who may have suffered personally and by association in the Saturday’s attacks.

Sanwo-Olu said the multiple bomb attacks in Borno State are regrettable and depressing.

He therefore offered prayers for love, peace, and comfort to the people of Gwoza, during this difficult time.

He said, “I am deeply sad­dened by the news of the bomb attacks, which resulted in the loss of lives and the maiming of other citizens who were killed and wounded when suicide bombers attacked wedding and funeral ceremonies in the Gwoza Local Government Area of Bor­no State.

“The death of the innocent cit­izens killed by the suicide bomb­ers is worrisome and painful. We pray that God will comfort the victims’ families and the entire people of Gwoza and Borno State in this time of sorrow.

“On behalf of the government and people of Lagos State, I sym­pathise with the immediate fam­ilies of victims of the multiple bomb attacks, the government, and people of Borno State.

“I wish Governor Babagana Zulum and the people of Borno State, particularly those in Gwo­za peace, comfort, and love at this time of sorrow.

“I want to assure my broth­er-governor that the government and the good people of Lagos State stand with him in this very difficult time.”
