Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says Monday’s deadly attack on the Police Command Headquarters and the Correctional Facility in Owerri, the Imo State capital was an act of terrorism.
The Nigerian leader’s reaction was conveyed in a statement by his media aide Garba Shehu.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the deadly insurgent attack that took place on the Police Command Headquarters and the Correctional Facility in Owerri, Imo State, on Monday, calling it an act of terrorism,” the statement read.
“In his reaction to the incident early on Monday, President Buhari praised the initial response by security guards and security forces for preventing greater loss of life and the destruction of public property.
He also urged the people to assist the law enforcement agencies with any information to help.
“He also urged members of the public to be vigilant as all of us have a stake in preserving our way of life from disruption by terrorists and anarchists while the Federal Government will use every available tool at its disposal to confront and terminate this bare-faced anarchy.”
