NIGERIA president, Bola Tinubu has ordered the country’s security chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri, Borno State, following the death of 23 people in a bomb blast in the North-Eastern city.
Tinubu condemned the acts of terror, saying it is part of the “desperate and frantic attempts by criminals and terrorist elements trying to instil and spread fear” among people owing to pressure from security forces.
“I have also directed the emergency agencies to provide proper care for the injured,” Tinubu wrote in a statement on Tuesday.
The president said the incident is “profoundly upsetting” but warned that “There is no place in Nigeria where terrorists will find safety.
“We will locate them, confront them, and completely defeat them.”
“We will continue to intensify our efforts against all criminal elements, wherever they may be,” Tinubu promised.
