The Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) has commiserated with the victims, government and people of Borno State on the recent suicide bombing in Gwoza LGA.

TheNewsZenith reports that the Chairman of the NSGF, Gov. Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe in a statement at the weekend, strongly condemned the heinous act.

The attack resulted in the loss of innocent lives and left many injured while many properties were destroyed.

Describing the attack as cowardly, Yahaya emphasized that such acts of terror have no place in a peaceful and progressive society.

“These cowardly attacks by bloodthirsty terrorists will never break the spirit of the peace-loving people of Northern Nigeria and our great nation,” he declared.

The governor acknowledged the relentless efforts of the Tinubu Administration in combating terrorism in the country.

According to him, the nation’s security operatives are putting pressure on the criminal elements.

Yahaya believed that with sustained efforts and cooperation among security agencies, the menace of terrorism would be effectively curtailed.

“We must ensure that our security apparatus is always a step ahead of these terrorists.

“Enhanced intelligence and proactive measures are vital in preventing such tragic incidents.”
