Yesterday, October 23, a suicide bomber supposed to be a member of the deadly Boko Haram sect attacked a mosque in Maiduguri, Borno state. A few hours later, another bombing was reported in a mosque in Jimeta area of Yola, the Adamawa state capital.

Following the tragic news, the APC issued a statement by Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party’s national publicity secretary, on Saturday, October 24, in Lagos.

The APC expressed condolences to the government and aggrieved people of the states and noted that they should take solace from the fact that the attacks will not endure because of the stepped up campaign by the Nigerian army.

“The spike in the attacks in recent times is a direct reflection of the huge successes by the military in flushing the Boko Haram terrorists out of their strongholds and putting them on the run. With no fortress to call their own any more, having being smoked out of Sambisa Forest and removed from their ‘caliphates’, they have resorted to these cowardly attacks aimed at soft targets.

“But grim as the situation may seem at the moment, these cowardly attacks will taper off sooner than later, because suicide bombings are not sustainable, and because of the unrelenting campaign by our military,” the party said.

According to the APC, the Boko Haram sect has realized that it is doomed and its members have now dispersed into the population. Therefore, the party urged all citizens, especially in the North East of the country, to be extra vigilant.

“It used to be that Boko Haram terrorists will easily slip across the border to neighbouring countries after carrying out deadly and spectacular attacks in Nigeria. Now, they have not only lost their ability to carry out spectacular attacks, they are also unable to slip across the border, after being increasingly hemmed in by regional forces. Their days are numbered. Boko Haram is domed,” the APC concluded.

Earlier today, three female suicide bombers have again attacked two communities in Borno state. The incidents happened in Dala and Yazare, suburbs located some 4 km away from Maiduguri, along the Biu-Maiduguri road.
