President Jonathan also said he shared the” consternation and understands the confoundedment” of the victims’ families ” as they mourn while the nation celebrates”.
“The president wants these families to know that their loved ones have not died in vain”, Niboro added in the statement.

“To those behind these vicious acts, the president wants you to know that you will be found, and you will pay dearly for this heinous crime.
