President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed that the Mastermind of Saturday’s attack on a United Nations (UN) helicopter near Damasak, Borno State, will pay dearly for it.
The President said the government will avenge the attack in which two persons, including a five-year-old, were killed. The attack was attributed to insurgents.
According to a report by the UN, one of its Humanitarian Air Service helicopter was shot at by the Boko Haram terror group on Saturday.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, the President described the attack as cowardly, vowing that it would be repaid with a heavy consequence.
Condemning the incident, the President said the latest act by the terror group was carried out to camouflage its dwindling strength, assuring both the international community, as well as Nigerians, that security of lives and property remained his administration’s top priority.
