Apparently disturbed by the recent attack by Boko Haram that claimed no fewer than 30 lives of travellers as well as vehicles and houses burnt, President Muhammadu Buhari has paid a sympathy visit to Maiduguri, Borno state capital.
Mr President on arrival from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, headed straight to Maiduguri. He was in Addis Ababa for the African Union Summit.
Senior Presidential Media Aide, Garba Shehu, confirmed the visit in a tweet Wednesday afternoon, saying the President landed at 12.45 pm local time.
“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,” Shehu tweeted @Garshehu
