General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), former Head of State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has condemned the activities of the Boko Haram Terrorist group, this follows the Sunday’s massacre in eight Borno communities which resulted in the death of about 121 persons plus the the subsequent kidnapping of 20 school girls.
In a statement via his Facebook page Buhari wrote, "We condemn the recent escalation of senseless violence in Borno State. Our prayers and sympathies are with the victims and their families. There is no justification for this wanton disregard for the sanctity and dignity of human life. Any ideology that trafficks in terror and violence is a devilish ideology that has no place in a civilized society.
"This is the time for our security agencies and those responsible for the security and well-being of our citizens to intensify vigilance in order to mitigate future occurrences. Because, it is inconceivable that despite heavy militarization, terrorists and other criminal elements are still able to terrify the defenceless populations of those areas. May God grant us the strength and unity to overcome this".
Also, governors of the 19 Northern states, under the aegis of Northern States Governors Forum, NSGF, as well as the Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI, have also joined General Buhari in condemning the killings.
The Governors who spoke after a meeting in Kaduna urged the Federal Government to arrest the situation before it spreads to other parts of the country.
