Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that the bombing at the Yola IDP Camp could only have been planned and executed by persons with hearts of evil.
In a statement released by his Media Office today in Abuja, he expressed sadness at the bombing of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in which several lives were lost and many persons maimed.
Atiku said it was pathetic for the agents of evil to target the thousands of already traumatised and vulnerable people mainly from Borno and Yobe who were seeking refuge in the Camp.
“Many people I know were working as volunteers in the camp, including staff and students of AUN, who are being nurtured and mentored in the best tradition of service to humanity by giving of their time, energy and at times resources to their fellow human beings,” the Turaki Adamawa said.
“Today’s attack is an attempt to break the spirits of the people who came to seek refuge. The perpetrators will know no peace.
“We refuse to be broken. We will win the war against terrorism. We shall overcome!”
