Full Text By President Bola Tinubu

“I am deeply saddened and outraged by the series of tragic events that have shaken our nation in recent days. From the cowardly suicide bombing in Konduga, Borno State, to the horrifying lynching of innocent travellers in Plateau State, and the deadly explosion in Kano, these attacks on innocent lives are unconscionable and must not stand.

The bombing in Borno claimed the lives of innocent Nigerians and was a cruel attempt to spread fear. I have directed the National Emergency Management Agency to provide urgent support to survivors, and I extend my deepest condolences to the Government and people of Borno State. I also urge our security forces to intensify efforts to hunt down and rout the remnants of Boko Haram and crush their ability to inflict harm on soft targets as a diversionary tactic.

In Plateau State, I strongly condemn the barbaric murder of 12 wedding guests – peaceful citizens who were simply returning from a joyous occasion. I have ordered the Nigerian Police Force to work with all relevant security and intelligence agencies to ensure that those responsible are swiftly apprehended and prosecuted. These killings must not go unanswered. I also call on the Government of Plateau State to act decisively to end this vicious cycle of violence and work with security agencies to get to the root of this recent incident and use it as a deterrent against future occurrences.

Freedom of movement is a non-negotiable right of every Nigerian, and we will not tolerate any attempt by anyone or group of people to curtail that fundamental freedom through acts of extreme violence and fear.

Furthermore, I sympathise with the families affected by the explosion at a scrap metal facility in Kano, where five lives were lost. This tragic incident highlights the urgent need for stricter adherence to workplace safety protocols. I have directed the relevant agencies to investigate the cause and take appropriate actions to prevent a recurrence.

I offer my heartfelt prayers to the families of all those we have lost and to the injured. To the people of Borno, Plateau, Kano, and Kaduna States, I stand with you in grief and resolve. We will not rest until justice is done and peace and safety are fully restored across our land.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may God continue to protect the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
