Borno attacks: VP Shettima vows no tolerance for terrorists in Nigeria
**VP Shettima Promises No Tolerance for Terrorists in Nigeria**
Recent attacks in Borno State have left many Nigerians worried about the safety of our country. In response, Vice President Kashim Shettima has reaffirmed the Federal Government's commitment to keeping all parts of Nigeria free from terrorist control.
Speaking on Saturday, Shettima addressed the violent incidents that took place in Ngoshe, where people were abducted, and in Konduga, Marte, Jakana, and Mainok, where military installations were attacked. He stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered a swift mobilization of security forces to confront the attackers and restore peace in the affected areas.
Shettima emphasized that the government will not tolerate any sanctuary for terrorists, and will not be intimidated by their cowardly attacks. He revealed that additional resources and intelligence-led reinforcements have been deployed to support ongoing operations in the North-East.
The Vice President emphasized that the government is not just fighting a war, but defending the very soul of our humanity against those who preach hate. He assured that perpetrators of the attacks will be held accountable under the law, and reaffirmed the government's commitment to rescuing abducted victims.
Nigerians can take comfort in knowing that our government is taking concrete steps to address the security challenges we face. The Vice President's statement sends a clear message that we will not be cowed by terrorists, and that we will do everything in our power to protect our people.
It's worth noting that the North-East region of Nigeria has been grappling with the Boko Haram insurgency for many years, and recent attacks have raised concerns about the government's ability to secure the area. However, the Vice President's statement suggests that the government is committed to addressing these challenges, and working to restore peace and stability in the region.
As Nigerians, we can only hope that the government's efforts will yield positive results, and that we will see an end to the violence and insecurity that has plagued our country for so long.
