ABUJA-President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday said that Boko Haram sect was embarrassing his government with their renewed onslaught against the people of the north-east.
Speaking against the backdrop of plethora of suicide bombings in
Chibok market, Dolari Internally Displaced Person’s (IDP) camp in Borno
State and the Gombi market in Adamawa State in the passing week,
president Buhari said that the insurgents had become more desperate,
saying that the recent bombings were attempts to gain public sympathy
and attention having suffered terribly in the hands of Nigerian
military.
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.
The President also noted that the materials for the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were locally sourced by the insurgents.
He therefore urged Nigerians especially residents of the north-east region to be more vigilant and circumspect.
“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.
“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,” the President said.
A statement by the senior special assistant on media and publicity,
Mallam Garba Shehu stated that President Buhari “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.”
