Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has expressed outrage over the explosions that rocked Maiduguri yesterday evening, claiming the lives of over 20 people and leaving more than 100 others injured.
The former lawmaker expressed his displeasure in a post on his X handle, on Tuesday.
He described the attacks as a “despicable act of cowardice that defies our shared humanity and warrants the unreserved condemnation of every person of conscience.”
Sarki urged Nigerians, particularly residents of Maiduguri, to remain “calm yet exceptionally vigilant, and to promptly report any suspicious persons, movements, or objects to the appropriate authorities.”
He further called on security agencies to intensify their efforts, stating: “Our security agencies must intensify ongoing operations to track down those responsible, ensure they are brought to justice, and reinforce efforts to eliminate these threats entirely.
“Every necessary measure must be taken to fortify our defences and prevent further incidents.”
Offering condolences to those affected, Saraki added: “I extend my heartfelt condolences to the victims, their families, the Borno State Government, and all those affected by this senseless act of violence.
“May the Almighty grant the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear this loss, grant the injured a speedy recovery, and restore peace across our nation.”
