of terrorism which his administration and other governments in the country are
fighting hard to eradicate.

barbaric act praying God to give them all the fortitude with which to bear the
irreparable lose calling on them to take solace in God the giver and taker of
lives just as he wished all those that were injured quick recovery.
Isa Yuguda who described the assailants as
terrorists assured that government will do everything humanly possible to track
them down and bring them to book because according to him, “there is no way we
will allow criminals and terrorists to continue live among us terrorising
innocent people, we must join hands to stop these heinous acts.”
He added that the terrorists acts are not directed
at one direction either because of religion, tribe and or political affiliation
but a general target at every citizen of the country saying that, “we must all
come together to fight these evil men, they live among us and we must expose
them at all cost, these wonton killing must stop now.”

do anything that will aggravate the already tensed situation which may lead to
the breakdown of law and order because according to him, “let us allow the
security operatives to do their work and eventually track down the criminals,
we should please avoid anything that will lead to the loss of more lives and
disrupt the peace that we are enjoying in the state.”
