Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, broke down on Friday following the bombing in Yola, Adamawa State, of a camp hosting internally displaced persons who fled the Boko Haram massacres in northern Nigeria.

Many people were killed and others injured in the unprecedented bombing at an IDP camp.

Atiku expressed deep sadness at the bombing and said only evil persons could perpetrate such barbarism.

In a press statement released by his Media Office in Abuja on Friday, 11 September, the former Vice President said that the bombing could only have been planned and executed by persons with hearts of evil.

Atiku said it was pathetic for these 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,” theTuraki 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!”.
