President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the reported execution of four aid workers by terrorists in the North eastern part of the country.
The president, in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, also reaffirmed the resolve of his administration to see to the end of criminal activities, including terrorist operations, in the country.
Commiserating with the families of the affected aid workers, the President assured that good will eventually overcome evil, no matter how long the reign of the wicked might seem.
He urged all insurgents once again to lay down their arms and rejoin decent humanity.
“President Muhammadu Buhari condemns the alleged execution of four aid workers by terrorists in North-eastern Nigeria, saying the defeat of evil by good is inevitable, no matter the Pyrrhic victory evildoers seem to win.’
“The President feels saddened by the claimed development, and commiserates with the family and loved ones of the aid workers, who had offered themselves to serve humanity at grave risks.
“Evil will always be defeated by good at the end of the day; whatever seeming victory evil records, eventually rebounds on the evildoer. We are resolved to beat evil in this land and we remain unrelenting till we achieve it,” President Buhari said.
The aid workers were abducted near Damasak, Borno State, in July and had been held despite all efforts to secure their release, till their alleged execution.
