The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has commiserated with the victims of Sunday night suicide bombing at Belle Village, near Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
Secondus said that the senseless bombing that led to loss of over 34 lives and about 90 persons injured on Easter Day was very unfortunate and condemnable.
The PDP boss said in a statement signed by his media spokesperson, Ike Abonyi, that his heart and that of other well-meaning Nigerians were with the families who lost their beloved ones as well as the injured.
Secondus charged security agencies operating in the area on the need to review their strategies so as to proactively avert more blood-letting of innocent persons.
He said that the need to adjust the military operations in the region became imperative given the disturbing record of the United Nations UN Coordination of Humanitarian Affair (OCHA) released in Abuja on Monday.
The record, he said, showed that 22 attacks were carried out against the people in the region in the most troubled states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa in the last three months.

According to him, available records, over 120 deaths and over 200 were injured in the three months of 2018, excluding abductions.
Prince Secondus also charged President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration to ensure that the humanitarian situation in the region was not allowed to deteriorate.
“It’s a pity that in this country today human lives means nothing as innocent citizens continue to lose their lives daily with women and children worse hit,” he said.
Finally, he appealed to the militants to embrace peace and avoid wasting of human lives which he said could not be justified for any reason.
