By Kunle Sanni

Vice President Kashim Shettima has strongly condemned the suicide bombing that claimed several lives at a food joint in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State on Friday night.

Describing the attack as a “heinous act of terrorism against innocent civilians,” Shettima called on security agencies to expedite investigations and ensure that victims and the families of the deceased receive immediate assistance.

In a statement on Saturday, the Vice President assured Nigerians that the Federal Government remains committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice and restoring lasting peace and security in the Northeast and other parts of the country.

“Our hearts go out to the families who have lost loved ones in this senseless act of violence,” he said, adding that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not allow insurgents to undermine the progress made in the fight against terrorism.
