President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the gruesome murder of an Islamic cleric in Yobe State by some army officials.
It was reported earlier that one Sheikh Goni Aisami was murdered on Friday by some suspected soldiers.
The state police command has since acted swiftly to arrest the officers involved in the act.
Reacting to Aisami’s killing, President Buhari in a statement through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, described the soldiers’ act as barbaric.
The Nigerian leader said the soldiers’ act is capable of watering down citizens’ trust and care to assist military men.
