agencies to launch a full-scale investigation and

life and dignity, are tracked down and brought to
justice.

to take every step to put an end to the
reprehensible acts of all groups and persons

the common enemy.

against fellow citizens will destroy the Nigerian
spirit to remain positive, resolute and united in
the quest for lasting peace and security in the
country. He appeals to all Nigerians to remain
vigilant and cooperate actively with our security
agencies to win the on-going war against
terror.
