In a statement by his spokesman Garba Shehu, Buhari described the attack on Ubah and his convoy as “barbaric and condemnable.”
The president said: ”We are deeply concerned about the activities of armed groups in the region and in other parts of the country.

”We are closely monitoring the situation and waiting for further details on the response to the worrisome situation by the police, the military and other security agencies.”
Buhari noted that the nation has lost “four brave policemen and other aides” of Ubah.
He added, “On behalf of the government and the people, I pay homage to these security men and the aides who were brutally murdered.
”Our thoughts and prayers are with their families at this difficult time.”
Buhari prayed for the quick recovery of Ubah and all those that were injured and prayed for the early return of peace and security in Anambra and all other areas.
Ubah escaped from the scene of the attack because he was riding on a bulletproof SUV.
