President Muhammadu Buhari has made it clear that he would not spare members of Boko Haram whom he described as criminal elements that are bent on causing anarchy.
The President condemned the latest terrorist attack on Maiduguri, stressing that his administration won’t tolerate wanton and wilful destruction of life by members of the sect.
The President, who reacted to the latest attack, which left scores of people dead, injured and maimed, said in a statement issued by his media team that his administration meant business in its determination to tackle terrorist violence with all the resources available to his government.
Describing terrorists as cowardly murderers that target innocent people, President Buhari said that as the Commander-in-Chief, he has sworn to protect the security of Nigerians everywhere.
The President called for increased vigilance by local communities, even as he assured that his administration would give security close attention, and that his government is committed to boosting the morale of the armed forces by effectively funding them and attending to their welfare.
He condoled the families of the victims of the latest terrorist attack on Maiduguri and assured them that the worst days of these criminal elements will be over soon.
