Buhari reacts to recent suicide bomb attacks in Northeast, prays for those that have been affected

President Buhari has reacted to the recent bomb
attacks in Chibok market, Dolari Internally
Displaced Person’s (IDP) camp in Borno State and
the Gombi market in Adamawa State.
In a statement signed by the Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba
and released this evening, President Buhari said
the insurgents had suffered immensely from the
sustained bombardments of their camps and hide
outs by the Nigerian military and had resorted to
using desperate measures to gain cheap media
attention.
"I urge all citizens wherever they live to
own the war against terror and to be part
of the fight because it is the only way we
can finish the remaining work that needs to
be done to make our country safe again,"
he said.
President Buhari said the terrorists had been
rendered weak, confused and homeless after
repeated bombings and ravaging of their camps
and hide outs by the military, forcing them to find
their way back into the society to wreak havoc,
like the case of the Dolari IDP.
"Having lost the war, they are seeking ways
and means to gradually find their way back
into society. They are not returning to
contribute but to cause more havoc. They
are so desperate to embarrass the
government and the people that they have
no qualms attacking isolated communities
and markets," he added.
He noted that the materials for the Improvised
Explosive Devices (IEDs) were locally sourced by
the insurgents, urging Nigerians to be more
circumspect and report suspicious purchases and
movements of unusual components in any part of
the country, especially the North East.
He extended his condolences to all the people of
Chibok, Gombi and Dolari who lost loved ones in
the recent attacks and prayed that the Almighty
God will comfort them and grant the injured
persons quick recovery.
