Buhari condemns execution of aid workers in Northeast

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the alleged execution of four aid workers by terrorists in the Northeast, saying the defeat of evil by good was inevitable, no matter the pyrrhic victory evildoers seem to record.

In a statement, signed yesterday, by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, Buhari said he felt saddened by the claimed development, and commiserated with the deceased’s family and loved ones, as they had offered themselves to serve humanity at grave risks.

The aid workers were abducted near Damasak, Borno State, in July, and had been held captive, despite all efforts to secure their release, till their alleged execution.“Evil will always be defeated by good at the end of the day. Whatever seeming victory evil records will eventually rebound on the evildoer.

We are resolved to beat evil in this land, and we remain unrelenting till we achieve it,” Buhari said.He urged insurgents once again to lay down their arms, and rejoin decent humanity.
