In a statement posted via his official X handle on Sunday, June 22, Tinubu expressed outrage over the attack, which claimed several lives and left many injured. He also directed immediate government action to support the victims and their families.
“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,” the president said.
While reaffirming his administration’s commitment to tackling terrorism, Tinubu charged the security forces to redouble efforts in tracking and eliminating the remnants of Boko Haram, particularly those now targeting civilians.
