Remnants of Boko Haram Insurgents Responsible for Borno Bombing, Says Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has attributed the suicide bombing in Konduga, Borno State, at the weekend to remnants of the Boko Haram insurgents who resort to attacks on soft targets as a diversionary tactic.

Angered by the development, Tinubu urged security agencies to double their efforts in routing the insurgents out from the country.

In a statement by Bayo Onanuga, presidential media aide on Sunday, the Nigerian President mourned those who lost their lives, describing the attack as cowardly.

He condoled with the government and people of Borno State over the incident and directed the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, to support survivors.

He also sympathized with the families of those killed or injured by an explosion on Saturday morning in Kano.

The statement added that the explosion at a scrap metal factory affected 15 people, with five of them losing their lives.

The President underscored the importance of workplace safety measures
