The President condemned all acts of violence and terrorism against innocent Nigerians, reiterating that the perpetrators and sponsors of such dastardly acts would be held accountable under the law.
He prayed for the quick recovery of all those injured and assured that his administration would not relent in the fight to neutralise terrorists, bandits and kidnappers around the country.
