Boko Haram kills 56, injures 75 in Borno; Osinbajo talks tough

Boko Haram members went on the rampage on Tuesday, killing 56 people and injuring 75 at a camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Dikwa, northern part of Maiduguri, Borno State.
Freedom Online learned that two suicide bombers struck in the camp, leading to the heavy casualty.
Dikwa is the birth place of Boko Haram.
The camp is home to more than 50,000 people driven from their homes by the insurgents.
Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has sympathised with family members of the victims. He also said the full weight of the law would be deployed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
In a statement by his media aide, Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said on Wednesday: “On behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, expresses his profound condolences to the families of the victims of yesterday’s suicide bombing of an IDP camp in Dikwa, Borno State, and also the entire people and government of the state. His prayers are that the Almighty God will comfort them and grant the injured persons quick recovery.
“The Vice President stated that it is indeed regrettable that the heartless terrorists chose to unleash their wickedness on people who were taking refuge from previous acts of destruction in their homes.
“He reassured the nation that the full weight of the federal government’s force will be deployed to hunt down the perpetrators of this evil act and also to confront terrorists continuously in the protection of life, liberty and property of all Nigerians: there will be no hiding place for terrorists.
“Prof. Osinbajo has given directives that formidable security in and around the IDP Camps in the country be beefed up and renewed measures put in place to guard against future occurrences.
“Finally, the Vice President called on the people of Borno State and all Nigerians that the commitment of the federal government to safety of lives and property continues to be of paramount concern to the Buhari administration”.
