unjustifiable and punishable before God Almighty and the laws of the
land.
The President sent his heartfelt condolences to the University
Community, families of the victims and the government and people of
Borno State.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi
Adesina, in a statement said the President expressed the 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”.
Buhari reassured the communities in Borno and others in the North
eastern part of the country that his administration will continue to

the security agencies continue to use all means at their disposal to
combat the remnants of insurgents and their sponsors.
