President Bola Tinubu has ordered the immediate deployment of additional tactical security teams to Borno State following the deadly bomb explosion at a mosque in Gamboru Market, Maiduguri.
The directive, disclosed on Thursday by Vice President Kashim Shettima, includes intensified intelligence gathering, enhanced surveillance, and coordinated joint security operations aimed at swiftly restoring calm and preventing further attacks in the area.
Shettima said security agencies have been placed on high alert and mandated to act decisively to track down and apprehend those responsible for the attack.
Condemning the incident in strong terms, the Vice President described the bombing as a despicable assault on innocent worshippers and a direct threat to Nigeria’s peace and stability. He stressed that the Federal Government would not tolerate any attempt to undermine public safety or national security.
“The Federal Government will not tolerate any attempt to destabilise our country or threaten the lives of innocent Nigerians. Our security agencies have been directed to act decisively and ensure that those behind this heinous act are swiftly brought to justice,” Shettima said.
Expressing confidence in the nation’s security architecture, the Vice President noted that ongoing operations would not only lead to the arrest of the perpetrators but also unravel the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
He extended condolences to the Borno State Government, residents of Maiduguri, and families affected by the attack, assuring them of the Federal Government’s full support.
“We sympathise with the Government and people of Borno State, particularly families who have lost loved ones. The Federal Government is confident that those responsible for this despicable act of terrorism will face the full weight of the law,” he added.
Shettima reaffirmed the Tinubu administration’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives, property, and national unity, stressing that security remains a top priority anchored on constitutional responsibility.
