To push back against Boko Haram and Islam in West Africa, President Muhammadu Buhari and Mahamadou Issoufou, President of Niger Republic, has agreed to strengthen sub-regional security.
Speaking on Tuesday at the State House, Buhari stated assertiveness of ISWA in the sub-Sahara and Sahel regions was worrisome.

In strong terms, President Buhari condemned the attack while describing it as a heinous crime.
He said, “Our deepest and heartfelt condolences to the families of victims and people of Niger Republic. Nigeria stands with all her neighbours in the fight against terrorism.”
