The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has visited victims of the recent IED explosions receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) and conducted an on-the-spot assessment at the Maiduguri Monday Market bombing site.
As part of ongoing engagements, the IGP also visited the Borno State Government House and the State Police Command Headquarters to review security measures and strengthen coordinated response efforts.
IGP Disu commiserated with the victims and their families, expressing sympathy over the tragic incidents, while assuring residents of the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to dismantling all networks responsible for the attacks and preventing any recurrence.
He emphasised that security across Maiduguri has been significantly tightened, with enhanced police deployments, increased surveillance, and robust joint operational measures in place to forestall further threats and ensure public safety.
On Tuesday, police authorities in Borno said 23 people were killed in the bomb blasts that rocked the state on Monday.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the incidents were carried out by suspected suicide bombers. Regrettably, a total of twenty-three (23) persons lost their lives, while one hundred and eight (108) others sustained varying degrees of injuries,” the spokesman of the Borno State Police Command, Nahum Kenneth-Daso, said.
A combined team of police tactical units, the military and other joint security operatives has been deployed to the affected areas.
The victims have been evacuated by emergency responders, while those injured are receiving medical attention.
