Rann attack: Boko Haram godless ―Buhari

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said that the attack on humanitarian workers in Rann, Borno State, more than ever shows Boko Haram insurgents as godless, brutish, and utterly to be despised.

A statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), quoted him as saying: “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.”

While sympathising with the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies working at Rann, and in the country generally, the President affirmed 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.
