DHQ: Fate of terrorists behind Borno bombings will be violent

 The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) says it will annihilate the
terrorists behind recent attacks in Gwoza LGA of Borno state. Edward Buba, director of defence media operations, said this
in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja. On Saturday, suicide bombers detonated improvised explosive
devices (IEDs) in different parts of Borno. 32 people have been confirmed dead
from the explosions. A curfew has since been imposed on Gwoza over suspicion of
another attack.“The fate of the terrorists that perpetrated these
insecurity will be violent and short as troops will stop at nothing to take
them out of the battlefield,” Buba said. He added that recent operations have severely weakened
terrorist groups, their leadership, resources, and support base. He said the terrorists targeted innocent civilians in a
desperate bid to mask their vulnerability and project a false sense of power. “Citizens must see through the smokescreen of the
terrorists. We must realise that the terrorists aim to counter the reports of
their weakness and create panic in the general population,” he said. “The military is aware that in this phase of their ending
life-cycle, the terrorists are desperate to attract attention, bolster relevancy,
mobilise new recruits, reduce support for the armed forces and reduce support
for the government. “Accordingly, we call on citizens to stand united, remain
vigilant, and continue to support efforts of the armed forces to ensure a
secure and peaceful future.” The director described the bombings as a “national tragedy”.  “The armed forces
views every life lost as a result of the ongoing war, whether civilian or
military, as an immense tragedy,” Buba added. “The sad loss of lives are a tragedy for the society,
community and the nation. “Accordingly, on behalf of the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen
Christopher Musa, officers and members of the armed forces, we express our
condolences even as we mourn with all who have lost loved ones. 



























































“We also commiserate with all victims needing healing and
recovery.”
