President Buhari Statement On The Killing Of ICRC Worker Saifura Ahmed Khorsa

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI ON THE KILLING OF SAIFURA AHMED KHORSA.

My deepest condolences to the children and entire family of midwife and humanitarian worker, Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa. Condolences also to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and UNICEF.

The killing of Saifurawho worked for the Red Cross, to bring succor to the victims of terrorismwas an act of extreme barbarism, utterly reprehensible and inhuman. The Nigerian Government strongly condemns it.

We will continue to do everything possible to ensure the safe return of all of our people held by Boko Haram. This is a vow we intend to fully keep. I appeal to our international partners and friends to continue to support us, even as we redouble our efforts.

In the last 3 years the efforts of our gallant military and intelligence agencies have resulted in the freeing of thousands of hostages, including some of the Chibok Girls and most of the Dapchi Girls. Let me again assure that no one including Leah Sharibu -will be left behind.
