Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, has called for calm following bomb explosions in Maiduguri, the state capital.
On Monday, several people were reportedly injured after
explosions rocked parts of the city.
Residents and security sources said the explosions caused
panic in affected areas as emergency responders moved in to assist victims and
secure the scenes.
In a statement on Monday, Zulum condemned the attacks,
describing them as “utterly condemnable, barbaric and inhumane”.
The governor said targeting civilians and places of worship
is unacceptable, especially at a time when Muslim faithful are observing acts
of devotion.
He extended condolences to the families of the victims and
prayed for the quick recovery of those injured.
Zulum urged residents to remain calm but vigilant, calling
on communities to strengthen security awareness in mosques, churches, markets
and other public gatherings.
He added that security agencies have launched investigations
to identify and apprehend those responsible for the explosion, assuring
residents that those behind the attack will be brought to justice.
