President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday called for vigilance among Nigerians, especially in the Northeast so as to help check the activities of insurgents.
He said that Boko Haram terrorists have been sourcing the materials for their Improvised Explosive Devices locally.
The president expressed his embarrassment over the renewed spate of suicide bombings in the Northeast.
He said that recent suicide attacks in Chibok market, Dolari Internally Displaced Person’s (IDP) camp in Borno State and the Gombi market in Adamawa State represent the desperation of the insurgents to attract attention, having been roundly beaten by the military.
“Having lost the war, they are seeking ways and means to gradually find their way back into society. They are not returning to contribute but to cause more havoc. They are so desperate to embarrass the government and the people that they have no qualms attacking isolated communities and markets.
“I urge all citizens wherever they live to own the war against terror and to be part of the fight because it is the only way we can finish the remaining work that needs to be done to make our country safe again," he said.
Buhari extended his "condolences to all the people of Chibok, Gombi and Dolari who lost loved ones in the recent attacks and prayed that the Almighty God will comfort them and grant the injured persons quick recovery.”
