He said, “I am greatly saddened by the fact that the terrorists went on to kill him even while giving signals of a willingness to set him free by releasing him to third parties. This barbarism is condemnable.
“We will ensure that these terrorists pay a heavy price for their evil actions,” Buhari posted on his Twitter handle.
Buhari expressed his condolence to the Christian community all over Nigeria, the government and people of Adamawa.
