Vice-President Kashim Shettima has expressed his displeasure over the suicide bombing attacks that claimed lives of scores at a local food joint in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State on Friday night.

Shettima described the development as a “heinous act of terrorism” against innocent civilians, assuring residents of the state of prompt response from government and its agencies to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice.

“We will not allow our enemies to undermine the progress we have made in degrading their capabilities,” Shettima said.
