Claimed Execution of Aid Workers: Sooner than later, good overcomes evil, says President Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the alleged execution of four aid workers by terrorists in North-eastern Nigeria, saying the defeat of evil by good is inevitable, no matter the pyrrhic victory evildoers seem to win.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said this in a statement he issued copy of which was sent to The DEFENDER on Saturday.

According to Adesina, the President feels saddened by the claimed development, and commiserates with the family and loved ones of the aid workers, who had offered themselves to serve humanity at grave risks.

The aid workers had been abducted near Damasak, Borno State, in July, and had been held despite all efforts to secure their release, till their alleged execution.

“Evil will always be defeated by good at the end of the day. Whatever seeming victory evil records, eventually rebounds on the evildoer. We are resolved to beat evil in this land, and we remain unrelenting till we achieve it,” President Buhari said.

He urged all insurgents once again to lay down their arms, and rejoin decent humanity.
