Early this morning, there was a terrorist attack on a mosque in the University of Maiduguri while members of the community there were observing Subhi prayers. While the number of casualties has not yet been ascertained, a Professor of Veterinary medicine is reported to have lost his life.

I received the sad news of the terrorist attack on the University of Maiduguri this morning.

Boko Haram is a godless group; with no true understanding of Islam. Their actions are cowardly, and punishable before God and by our laws.

Once again, my condolences to the families of the victims. And I wish the injured speedy & full recovery. Nigeria will triumph over terror!
