Read the press statement below:
President Muhammadu Buhari has received
with sadness, news of the dastardly bomb attack at a church on the
outskirts of Potiskum, Yobe State, earlier today.
President Buhari deeply regrets the
unfortunate loss of lives in the attack and commiserates with all those
who lost loved ones in the incident which also caused needless injury to
others and damage to the church building
.
The President wholly condemns the
resumption of attacks by terrorists on places of worship which are
highly revered places of prayer and communion with God for most
Nigerians.
Nigerians are a very religious people and
President Buhari believes that the terrorists who wantonly attack our
places of worship have willfully declared war on all that we value, and
must therefore be confronted with all our might and collective resolve.
The President reaffirms his
administration’s total commitment to doing everything possible to
eradicate Boko Haram, terrorism and mindless extremism from Nigeria in
the shortest possible time.
President Buhari assures all Nigerians
that terrorism will ultimately be defeated and full security restored in
all parts of the country for people to safely practice their respective
faiths with liberty wherever they may reside in the nation.
The Constitution gives all Nigerians that
right and the present administration will deploy all required force and
resources to protect citizens’ right to freedom of worship.
