A statement issued on Sunday by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) said the president described the attacks as desperate acts of terror and a clear manifestation of the pressure mounted against terrorists and the success achieved in degrading their capacity to launch offensives.

He condoled with the victims of the attacks, the families of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Borno State.
Reports say at least 18 people, including women and children, were killed, and 19 others seriously injured in Borno State, on Saturday, in a series of coordinated suicide bombings carried out by female attackers believed to be affiliated with the Jamā’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da’wah wa’l-Jihād, an Islamist jihadist organisation, also known as Boko Haram.
