President Jonathan Condemns Kaduna Twin Bombings That Targeted GenBuhari & Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan  has condemned  the bombings in Kaduna today which appeared to have targeted former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari and prominent Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi.

President Jonathan has equally denounced the dastardly targeting of the prominent political and religious leaders by terrorists and enemies of the nation in an odious attempt to inflame passions and exacerbate disquiet, fear, insecurity and sectional divisions in the country. 

This state was contained in a press release sent out by his media Adviser Dr Reuben Abati.

While thanking God Almighty for sparing the lives of General Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, president Jonathan  extended his  sincere condolences to the families of those who were sadly killed by the bomb blasts.

President Jonathan also commiserated with all those who were injured in the twin bombings in this Holy Month of Ramadan which defy the tenets of Islam, and provide further proof that the terrorists are nothing but blood-thirsty extremists bent on undermining the unity and progress of the nation.

The President also assured residents of Kaduna and all other Nigerians that the Federal Government will continue and further intensify its ongoing efforts to effectively curb the menace of terrorism in the country.

He has specifically directed the Police and other national security agencies to take all necessary actions to apprehend the perpetrators of today’s attacks on Kaduna and urges all residents of the city to give them the fullest possible cooperation and support as they work to bring the terrorists to justice.
