President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday condemned the latest killings by Boko Haram in Borno State.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President described them as most inhuman and barbaric.
President Buhari said the murder of up to 150 innocent men, women and children in Kukawa is a very heinous atrocity which must be unreservedly condemned by all people of conscience.
He believed that these last desperate acts by fleeing agents of terrorism underscore the urgent need to bring to early fruition efforts of his government to form a more effective international coalition against insurgency and terrorism in Nigeria and neighbouring countries.
Buhari also urged Muslims in Nigeria and across the world to reject with one voice the attackers’ claim of acting in the name of Islam, and tell the terrorists to stop the abasement of their religion.
The President conveyed his condolences to families of victims of Boko Haram’s dreadful killings in Kukawa.
