President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the latest attacks carried out by suspected members of terror group Boko Haram.

More than 50 people died last week after three separate attacks in the country. At least 42 people died in two attacks in Borno state which followed the deaths of at least 10 people at a market in Yobe state killed by a child suicide bomber, believed to be aged 12.

No group has claimed responsibility for the blast in Yobe, but suspicion has already fallen on Boko Haram, which is renowned for kidnapping civilians — mainly women and children — and forcing them to participate in attacks throughout the north-east, where the terrorists aim to establish an Islamic caliphate.

“They [Boko Haram] will not find Nigeria a safe haven, because they would be hunted down without mercy and compromise,” Buhari said in a statement issued by the President’s spokesperson, Malam Garba Shehu.

“No sane people who believe in any God would be destroying the lives of innocent people in cold blood, terrorists don’t represent any religion.

“Make no mistake about it: this government is ever determined to discharge its fundamental duty of protecting the lives of its citizens from physical threats from any groups bent on creating chaos, confusion, and on destroying social and economic life of the people,” the statement said.
