This is Nigeria: We’re coming to arrest terrorists in their holes, rocks – Buhari makes ‘routine promises’ after mass killings of soldiers, policemen in Niger State

According to President Muhammadu Buhari, his administration would hunt down and apprehend the terrorists responsible for the recent deaths and assaults in Niger State’s Shiroro Local Government Area on Thursday.
On Friday, Buhari promised that those responsible would face justice and paid tribute to security personnel who lost their lives protecting the nation from insurgent attacks.

The president said these in a release by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, on Friday.

Buhari was quoted as saying, “We honour our security forces, and particularly those brave souls who have given their lives fighting against the evil that is terrorism. They constitute the best that Nigeria has to offer and we remember each of them.

“Sadly, Nigeria’s fight against terrorism continues. It is a battle that is taking its toll on all of us. But we shall not relent, nor shall we surrender.

“We say it again that we have reduced Boko Haram to a shell of its former self. But terrorists are parasites. They thrive when the world is suffering.

“This atrocity only serves to further strengthen us against them. Nigeria is united in obliterating these demons. Each day we grow closer to that goal. When they lash out during times of global suffering it is the act of a cornered animal, an act of desperation.

“As always, their goal is the same: to sow fear and division amongst us. We will not let them. Instead, let us pray for the families and loved ones of those who sacrificed their lives in the fight against evil, and let us pray for the safe and speedy return of those abducted. We will do everything possible to ensure their return.

“And to the sadists, I say this: we are coming. No matter what rock you crawl under, what hole you sink into, what lie you hide behind, we are coming and we will find you. Shiroro will see justice. Nigeria will know peace.”

On Thursday, SaharaReporters reported that terrorists killed over 30 Nigerian soldiers, and policemen and also abducted some Chinese nationals In Niger State.

The Co-convener, Concerned Shiroro Youth of Niger State, Sani Kokki, in a statement on Thursday said the dead bodies of about 30 soldiers had been discovered in the bush and recovered.

“The death toll of Ajata – Aboki massacre of Shiroro LG, Niger State has risen astronomically, at present, almost 30 soldiers have been discovered in the bush and confirmed dead,” he said.
