Tunji Disu, the inspector-general of police (IGP), on Tuesday visited survivors of the bombings in Maiduguri, the Borno capital, and assessed security at key attack sites.
The Borno state police command confirmed that 23 persons
were killed, and 108 others injured in bomb blasts across three locations in
Maiduguri on Monday.
The explosions, which occurred at about 7:24pm, targeted a
main market, the gate of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, and the
Post Office flyover.
Disu visited the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital
(UMTH), where victims of the blasts are being treated.
He met with the injured and their families and commiserated
with victims, assuring them that the police are working to identify and
dismantle networks behind the attacks.
The IGP also visited the Monday Market, one of the sites
targeted by the terrorists, for an on-the-spot security assessment.
Disu, during the visit, interacted with local security
personnel to review operational preparedness and strengthen coordinated
response measures.
The IGP also visited the Borno state government house and
the police command headquarters in Maiduguri as part of engagements to enhance
collaboration between federal and state security agencies.
He was quoted as saying security has been strengthened
across Maiduguri and nearby areas, with more patrols, closer monitoring, and
joint operations to prevent further attacks.
