Following the killing of Lawan Andimi, chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Michika, Adamawa State by Boko Haram terrorist group, President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the killing, stressing that the terrorist will pay dearly.

 

In a series of tweets, the President described the murder of the clergyman as inhuman and vowed to ensure the insurgents pay dearly for their actions.

Buhari noted that it was barbaric, stressing that the group will pay a heavy price for their evil actions.

Recall that Reverend Andimi, who was abducted by Boko Haram terrorists in early January, was murdered by his captors on Monday, despite calls for his release by various groups, including the national leadership of the Christian body.

In his reaction, President Buhari decried the killing of the clergyman amid indications that the insurgents were going to release him.

He, however, condoled with the family of the slain reverend, the Christian community across the country, as well as the government and people of Adamawa State.
