Vice President Kashim Shettima has condemned the suicide bombing attack that led to deaths at a local food joint in the Konduga Local Government area of Borno State on Friday night.

In a statement on Saturday, Mr Shettima described the incident as a heinous act of terrorism against innocent civilians.

He urged relevant agencies to expedite investigations into the incident and ensure that victims and families of the deceased receive urgent support.

Mr Shettima commiserated with the families of the victims and the people of Borno and expressed the federal government’s commitment to bringing the perpetrators to justice.

He assured that the federal government will not relent in its efforts to ensure that those responsible for the despicable act face the full weight of the law.

” The government stands with them in this difficult time and will provide all necessary support.

“The administration of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, remains committed to restoring lasting peace and security to the North-East and all parts of Nigeria.

“We will not allow our enemies to undermine the progress we have made in degrading their capabilities,” Mr Shettima said.
