In a statement issued by Garba Shehu, the President's spokesman, Buhari described the incident as a "shocking and cowardly attack on worshippers."

"The nation is one at deploring this monstrous crime.

"Please, convey to the families and friends of those killed, my condolences for this utterly dastardly crime.

"Please, also convey my considerations and sympathies to the people of Ekwusigo Local Government Area for this tragic attack," the President wrote.
