Tinubu Orders Security Chiefs to Maiduguri After Deadly Explosion

President Bola Tinubu has directed security chiefs to relocate to Maiduguri following a deadly explosion that claimed multiple lives in the city.

The President condemned the attack, describing it as an attempt by criminal and terrorist elements to spread fear among residents.

“I have directed security chiefs to move to Maiduguri to take charge of the situation,” he said.

He also instructed emergency response agencies to provide immediate care for those injured in the incident.

The President assured that efforts are underway to track down those responsible for the attack.

“There is no place in Nigeria where terrorists will find safety. We will locate them, confront them, and completely defeat them,” he stated.

He added that the government would intensify operations against criminal elements across the country.

Security forces have since been deployed to affected areas, while emergency responders continue to treat the injured.
