President Muhammadu Buhari strongly condemns the terrorist attack Monday
morning at a mosque in the University of Maiduguri.
The President expresses sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the
University Community, families of the victims and the government and
people of Borno State.
President Buhari believes that this appalling attack on a revered place of
worship and Ivory Tower shows that the perpetrators have no true
understanding of Islam, adding that their despicable acts of terrorism are
cowardly, criminal, unjustifiable and punishable before God Almighty and
the laws of the land.
The President reassures communities in Borno and others in the North
eastern part of the country that his administration will continue to
ensure that terrorism never triumphs over peace-loving Nigerians.
He reaffirms the need for Nigerians to remain more vigilant even as the
security agencies continue to use all means at their disposal to combat
the remnants of insurgents and their sponsors.
President Buhari wishes those injured in the attack a speedy and full
recovery, and comfort for families of the dead.
