The Waziri of Adamawa, Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has strongly condemned the recent bomb attack in Borno State, which resulted in the loss of numerous lives and injuries to many others.
The attack, carried out by suicide bombers at a wedding reception, funeral procession, and a hospital, has been described as a sad and condemnable incident.
Atiku Abubakar, in post on his verified facebook page on Sunday expressed his concerns over the incidents of terrorism resurfacing in the North East.
Atiku said it is a sad development that the “ugly incidents of terrorism are resurfacing and, indeed, metastasising in the North-East.”
According to him, “The reported attack by suicide bombers at a wedding reception, funeral procession, and a hospital on Saturday stands condemned.
“It is unfortunate that much of the pushback that had been achieved against the Boko Haram terror sect are being cancelled, owing mainly to the government’s lacklustre posture to hold firmly on the frontline.
“It is thus important to call on the federal authorities to wake up to their responsibility and to make sure that the North-East does not slide back into a theatre of terrorism and extreme violence.”
