Buhari Condemns Killing Of Red Cross Worker Saifura By Boko Haram

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned and described as
heinous and despicable, the killing of Ms Saifura Hussaini Khorsa,
an aid worker, by the Boko Haram terrorists

Khorsa, who worked for the Red Cross, was kidnapped about six
months ago at the Rann camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
in Borno by Boko Haram terrorists.

The president made the condemnation in a statement by his Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in
Abuja on Monday.

The terrorists have equally threatened to harm others, including
the lone Dapchi school girl, Leah Sharibu still in their
custody.

President Buhari said: “The government of Nigeria strongly
condemns this reprehensible and inhuman act. No religion permits
the killing of the innocent.

“Saifura worked for the Red Cross, a humanitarian organisation
tirelessly working to bring succour to all the victims of violence
irrespective of the sides of the conflict.’’

The President, therefore, appealed to Nigeria’s international
partners and everyone with an influence on the terrorists to
prevail on them “to stop these acts of extreme barbarism.”

Buhari further assured that his administration would seize
“every given opportunity, with both hands and to use all means
available to bring home all citizens being held against their will
by the Boko Haram terrorists.’’

The President, on behalf of his family, the government and
people of Nigeria extended condolences to the family of Saifura,
the Red Red Cross and UNICEF over the loss of the “selfless and
hardworking mother.’’
