Buhari vows to end violent extremismPresident Muham-madu Buhari yesterday reiterated the determination of his administration to rid the country of extremism towards eradicating violence in the Nigeria.
He made the remark while speaking in Abuja after receiving briefing from a fact-finding team he sent to the parts of the Federal Capital territory which came under terrorist bombings on Friday evening.
According to him, for terrorism to be uprooted from the country, the society must be rid of violent extremism.
“The defeat of Boko Haram insurgency is in sight but to remove violence and make the country safe, we must tackle the prevalence of violent extremism. In doing this, we will learn from the experience of the international community,” President Buhari assured.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, quoted the president as directing the security services to raise their surveillance activities to meet the challenges of a retreating, desperate terrorist army and for the general public to remain acutely aware of security in and around them.
He sympathised with the families of the victims as well as the families of the more than a hundred others who were killed in similar incidents a few days ago in Borno State.
The fact-finding team visited the Kuje and Nyanya bombing sites and visited victims of the incidents at the National Hospital and the Maitama General Hospital.
They inspected the wards and mortuaries and consoled grieving family members on behalf of the president.
The fact-finding team was made up of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, the Chief of Staff, Malam Abba Kyari, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health and that of the Federal Capital Territory as well as the police commissioner in charge of the FCT.
