Shettima Condemns Borno Attack, Assures Perpetrators Won’t Escape Justice

Vice President Kashim Shettima has condemned the latest Boko Haram attack on Darajamal community in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State, where at least 63 people, including five soldiers, were killed over the weekend.

In a statement issued on Monday by his spokesperson, Stanley Nkwocha, the Vice President described the killings as a national tragedy, assuring the bereaved families that justice would be served.

“I extend my heartfelt condolences to Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, the people of Borno State, and the Nigerian military over the tragic loss of our compatriots. These deaths have left the entire nation in collective grief, but we are confident that justice will be served for the bereaved families”, Shettima said.

 

Shettima, a former governor of Borno State, stressed that the Federal Government will not relent in its war against insurgency. He said President Bola Tinubu has already directed the armed forces to review their operations and intensify counter-terror efforts across the country.

According to him, the Commander-in-Chief has approved the acquisition of additional drones and surveillance gadgets to strengthen military capabilities, particularly in frontline states like Borno. He added that all security agencies have been tasked to “energise further” and adapt new strategies to protect vulnerable communities.

The Vice President also hinted at broader reforms, including the federal government’s consideration of state police. He explained that specialised units familiar with local terrain and culture would be crucial to tackling persistent security challenges at the grassroots.

Shettima further assured the victims’ families and the Borno State government of sustained federal support in rebuilding communities and strengthening resilience against attacks.

 

The Vice President prayed for the repose of the victims and urged residents not to lose hope in the government’s ability to restore peace.

 

PRNigeria reports that Darajamal, a community recently resettled after years of displacement, came under attack late Friday around 10 p.m. when gunmen stormed on motorcycles, opened fire indiscriminately, and set houses, shops, and vehicles ablaze.

 

Survivors said the insurgents operated for hours before military reinforcements arrived.
