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.
