Tinubu Says Boko Haram is Behind Borno Bombing as He Mourns the Victims
President Bola Tinubu has blamed the recent suicide bombing in Konduga, Borno State, on remaining elements of Boko Haram, saying the attackers now target vulnerable civilians to cause distractions. Deeply upset by the incident, he called on security forces to intensify their operations and completely flush out the insurgents.
In a statement released by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu condemned the attack as cowardly and extended his condolences to the people and government of Borno State. He also directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to step in and support the victims and survivors.
The President further expressed sympathy to families affected by Saturday morning’s explosion in Kano, which occurred at a scrap metal yard. The blast injured 15 people and claimed five lives. Tinubu emphasized the need for proper safety standards in workplaces to prevent such tragedies.
It has been recorded that UNICEF has noted that Nigeria is the country with the highest number of children who have not received vaccines.
The organisation shared that especially children in urban areas are not accessible to vaccines, and this affects the numbers in Nigeria and the health of children.
“Today’s event is more than a launch. It is a shared political and moral commitment to the right of every Nigerian child to life-saving vaccines, regardless of where they are born or live.”
They shared the importance of the vaccine.
A Boko Haram video goes viral and sparks reactions and concern from Nigerians.
It has been noted that the terrorists made a video stating that their goal is either to convert or be killed. They are basing their actions on the teachings of Prophet Mohammed’s Jihad.
The terrorists also shared that Nigerians should expect more attacks, especially in Borno.
Question/Thought: How do we save ourselves and stop this in Nigeria?
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
