Former VP condemns Mubi attack

The former VP also described the attack as a violation of human liberty, adding that it is heart rending.

Atiku called on the Federal Government to focus on intelligence gathering so as to forestall future attacks.

According to Daily Post, ”It is noteworthy that homes are the take-off points in the fight to flush out terrorism from a community as parents must get full information about the activities of their wards and children.

“Terrorists are representatives of dark and evil forces. Parents and guardians must ensure that their children and wards do not get enlisted by these criminal agents of darkness.

“Terrorists seek to instill fears, but through our collective courage and determination we shall triumph. We must ensure that liberty trumps fears and domination.

“By being vigilant and through a collaborative team spirit between the civic public and the security apparatus we must fight for liberty. We are all soldiers of liberty.”
