Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has expressed sympathy with the victims of Thursday’s bomb explosions in Jimeta-Yola, in Adamawa State, which damaged a greater portion of the popular Jimeta market and caused widespread destruction of lives and property.
The former Vice President also condoled with victims of the recent bomb blasts in Maiduguri.
Atiku in a press statement by his media office in Abuja on Friday, 5 June 2015, lamented that these renewed attacks have sowed seeds of fear, violence and destruction in many parts of the North east region of the country.
The former Vice President urged the people to unite and isolate the agents of the terrorists among them and to support the government in its effort to degrade activities of the insurgents.
Atiku Abubakar said further that the recent spate of bomb attacks is a wake-up call on the need for improved vigilance on the part of the people and intelligence on the part of the security agencies to forestall such heinous attacks.
He called on the people and the security forces to monitor carefully the displaced person’s camps to ensure that insurgents do not infiltrate the latter and where they have done so, to deny them the liberty to operate by neutralising them, isolating them and then having them fished out for prosecution.
The Turaki Adamawa said that the Boko Haram offensive against the Nigerian people would eventually fail, as the measures and alliances being put in place by President Muhammadu Buhari administration would result in the defeat of the group where ever they are found.
