President Muhammadu Buhari has said that members of the global communitymust take the fight to terrorists wherever they are.

Buhari made the comment on Wednesday, January 27, 2016, in Eldoret, Kenya, while speaking at a memorial service in honour of Kenyan soldiers who were killed by Al-Shabaab in Somalia.

“We must take the battle to the terrorists whoever they are and wherever they are,” he said.

“This requires commitment, sacrifice, resources, collaboration and above all a realization that no country is immune to the scourge, as terrorists do not respect national boundaries, race, colour, religion or creed.

“Terrorists should not have a place in our communities, villages, towns, cities and countries. We must all rise against the culture of intolerance, hatred and extremist ideologies, which drive terrorism.

“We must also act with more firmness against radicalization and all those who promote values and principles that threaten our unity and cohesion as a people.

“I wish to use this occasion to pay tribute to all the fallen heroes of the El Addeattack and pray for the repose of their souls. In our efforts to collaboratively tackle terrorism, it is our sacred duty as leaders, politicians and compatriots to ensure that the blood of these fallen heroes was not shed in vain,” he added.

Buhari is on a three-day state visit to Kenya and he attended the memorial service along with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and President Hassan Mohamoud of Somalia.
