Says, “Perpetrators will pay a heavy price”

President Bola Tinubu has vowed that perpetrators of the suicide bomb attacks in Gwoza and Polka towns in Borno State will be made to pay a heavy price for their dastardly acts.

In a press release signed by his Special Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, the President condemned the terror acts, which resulted in the death of 22 people, with 19 others others injured, according to sources.

The President described the attacks as desperate acts of terror and a clear manifestation of the pressure mounted against terrorists and the success achieved in degrading their capacity to launch offensives.

Giving an assurance that the perpetrators of these attacks would be brought to justice, the President declared, “The purveyors of wanton violence shall have a certain encounter with justice, and that these cowardly attacks are only but an isolated episode as his government will not allow the nation to slither into an era of fear, tears, sorrow, and blood.

He stated further that his administration is taking necessary measures to secure citizens, emphasising that efforts will be redoubled to ensure that those responsible for these acts are dealt with decisively.

The President condoled with the victims of the attacks, the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State.
