President Bola Tinubu has sympathized with the people of Borno State following the recent terrorist attacks in Maiduguri, saying the incidents were desperate attempts by insurgents to instill fear.
Speaking via X this Tuesday, the President expressed grief over the loss of lives and extended sympathy to the injured and affected families, assuring residents of the Federal Government’s commitment to restoring security.
The warning followed coordinated attacks on Monday evening which reportedly claimed 23 lives and left 108 others injured.
President Tinubu said the attacks were a sign of increased pressure on terrorist groups by Nigerian security forces, while commending security operatives for repelling coordinated attacks on military positions in the state.
The President also said that additional support had been approved to strengthen ongoing operations, while reaffirming his administration’s resolve to intensify operations against insurgents across the country.
