President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja called for increased vigilance among the civilian population to help ward off terror attacks on soft targets around the country. He also condemned in strongest terms the barbaric suicide attacks which took place in Yola and Kano on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. Buhari, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims as well as to the Government and people of Adamawa and Kano States respectively. He reassured Nigerians that his administration is very much determined to wipe out Boko Haram in Nigeria and bring all perpetrators of the heinous crime against humanity to justice. The President urges Nigerians not to despair in the face of cowardly terrorist attacks but to have confidence in the ability of Nigeria’s reinvigorated, well-equipped and well-motivated Armed Forces and security agencies to overcome Boko Haram very soon. He, however, believes that vigilance is a potential life saver, since security agents cannot be everywhere to deter every planned attack. Citizen’s vigilance, he said, will therefore help to reduce the frequency of such attacks.
