Nigerian Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has also expressed his heartfelt sympathy over the killing of Rev. Lawal Andimi by terrorist group, Boko Haram.
He also revealed that efforts were ongoing to regain the Bishop’s freedom before Boko Haram went ahead to kill him.
Osinbajo said, ”Words fail me as I share my heartfelt sympathy with the family of Rev. Lawal Andimi. The senseless killing of the bishop despite ongoing efforts to secure his freedom further reiterates the callous and irrational nature of the Boko Haram terrorists.”
“A true leader and pillar of his church and community, Revd. Andimi remains an inspiration to us all. Just like the President has said in his statement, we remain committed in our mission to defeat these terrorists. And we shall, as we relentlessly work towards a safer Nigeria,” he added.
