President Muhammadu Buhari has landed in Maiduguri to sympathise with the people of Borno State over the Boko Haram attacks in Auno village in which no fewer than 30 persons were burnt to death on Sunday.
Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a tweet.
According to him, the President flew straight to Maiduguri from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he attended the African Union Summit.
Boko Haram terrorists had attacked commuters in Auno along Maiduguri-Damaturu road on Sunday night after they were shut out of Maiduguri by military authorities.
The terrorists also abducted several passengers, majority of whom were said to be women and children.
Shehu’s tweet read: “12:45pm. President Buhari, aboard the BBJ from Addis Ababa just landed in Maiduguri. He is paying a sympathy visit to the government and people of Borno following the recent horrific incident in which BH terrorists killed several travelers.”
