By Johnbosco Agbakwuru

Vice President Kashim Shettima, for the umpteenth time, described the perpetrators of multiple terror attacks in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, as barbaric, stressing that no cause justifies the killing of innocent people.

The Vice President also restated the Federal Government’s resolve to defeat terrorism, declaring that those behind recent attacks in the country will be decisively confronted.

Speaking on Wednesday when he visited victims of the bomb blast, who are receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Senator Shettima noted that beyond the presidential directive to security chiefs, the Federal Government was investing more in equipment and other logistics to boost the fight against terrorism across the country.

Condemning the gory multiple explosions in Maiduguri on Monday in which more than 100 people were affected by the incident, with over 20 confirmed dead, he described the perpetrators as barbaric, stressing that no cause justifies the killing of innocent people.

Shettima said his visit was to sympathise with the injured and families affected by the tragedy, assuring them of the government’s support through the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the North East Development Commission, and the Borno State Government.

The Vice President was accompanied by Borno State Deputy Governor Usman Kadafur; NEMA Director-General, Zubaida Umar; Chief Medical Director of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Professor Ahmed Ahijo, and other top government officials.
