“My prayer is for God to quickly intervene through those saddled with the responsibility of contiaining these incidences, we must never return those days that put fear in the hearts and minds of our people, we must collectively defeat terror and these we effectively do if we are together.

“Again, I pray for the repose of the dead and speedy recovery of the wounded in the latest attacks on our capital city. May God protect us all.”
