President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned Friday’s attack on an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Rann, Borno State, describing it as despicable and godless.
The President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, further said that the attack, which left four humanitarian workers dead, more than ever shows Boko Haram insurgents as brutish and utterly to be despised.
Buhari sympathised with the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies working at Rann and in the country generally.
He said,
“As I have always maintained, no true religion advocates hurting the innocent. To now further attack and kill those offering humanitarian aid is the height of bestiality. It is odious before both God and man.”
President Buhari affirms that such cowardly attacks can only bolster the determination of the government to bring the Boko Haram insurgency to a decisive end, in the shortest possible time.
