President Bola Tinubu has assured that efforts will be redoubled to ensure that terrorists are completely removed in the country.
The president gave the assurance on Sunday in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Ajuri Ngelale.
The president spoke against the backdrop of the suicide bombings that took place in Gwoza local government area of Borno State on Saturday, killing many and injuring others.
The president said his administration was taking necessary measures to secure citizens, “emphasizing that efforts would be redoubled to ensure that those who trouble the nation, dispatching precious lives, and disrupting law and order are completely removed.”

Tinubu 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.
He declared that “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.”
The president commiserated with the victims of the attacks, the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State.
