President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, to commiserate with the residents of the state over renewed Boko Haram attack.

The President’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu, announced the president’s arrival in Maiduguri in a Tweet on Wednesday afternoon.

He said the president was on ‘sympathy visit’

“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,” Mr Shehu wrote.

LagosTimes had reported one of the recent Boko Haram attacks in Auno where over 30 travellers were killed by Boko Haram after their vehicles were stopped from entering Maiduguri after 5:00 p.m.

The Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, blamed the military for the attack.
