The Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima, has vowed that terrorists would not be allowed to threaten the peace and security in the country.
Shettima gave the assurance in a statement on Saturday in which he reacted to the suicide bombing attack that led to deaths at a local food joint in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State on Friday night.

In his reaction, Shettima condemned the attack and urged relevant government agencies to ensure that victims and families of the deceased receive urgent support.
While commiserating with all those affected, the Vice President also assured that the perpetrators would be brought to justice.
“Our hearts go out to the families who have lost loved ones in this senseless act of violence.
