President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to blast the recent deadly insurgent attack on the Police Command Headquarters and the Correctional Facility in Owerri, Imo State.

He recently revealed this in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it was an act of terrorism that cannot be condoned, and he can only praise the initial response by security guards and security forces for preventing greater loss of life and the destruction of public property.

He added that fleeing prison detainees must be rearrested very soon because most of them are deadly criminals.

His words, “The President directed security and intelligence agencies in the state and the geo-political zone to fully mobilize and go after the terrorists, apprehend them and get them punished under the full weight of the law.”

“He also called for the best efforts to be made to rearrest fleeing prison detainees, many of whom are believed to be deadly criminals.”

“Members of the public should be vigilant as all of us have a stake in preserving our way of life from disruption by terrorists and anarchists while the Federal Government will use every available tool at its disposal to confront and terminate this bare-faced anarchy.”
