Buhari in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said the attack had shown that Boko Haram insurgents were godless, brutish, and utterly to be despised.

“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,” the President said.

He expressed his sympathy with the United Nations and other humanitarian agencies working at Rann, and in the country generally.

President Buhari affirmed that such cowardly attacks could only bolster the determination of government to bring the Boko Haram insurgency to a decisive end, in the shortest possible time.

In his statement made available by his media office, Saraki prayed for the repose of the soul of the victims of the attack.

He said: “My prayers are with the people of Rann, Borno State at this time.

 “Last night’s despicable attack that led to the deaths of several UN aid workers is a callous and cowardly act. Our security forces must not relent until they bring the perpetrators of this atrocity to justice.”
