The President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, has condemned the killing of a humanitarian worker with the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC)Saifura Khorsa by the Boko Haram terrorists.
Saraki in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, in Abuja said: “The killing of aid workers represents a new low by Boko Haram insurgents.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa, the young 25-year old female international aid worker who was abducted and killed by Boko Haram.
“Such horrific actions have no place in Nigeria. I join all Nigerians and the international community in condemning this killing in the strongest possible terms.
“The killing of aid workers, who choose to go into troubled spots, both in Nigeria and around the world, represents a new low by the insurgents as humanitarian workers are some of the most courageous and selfless people on the planet.”
Saraki called for immediate action by the military to ensure that Leah Sharibu and the other two Red Cross workers still in Boko Haram’s captivity were released.
