“The ugly incident that happened in Damboa yesterday in Borno State is a blow to the entire humanitarian community, as an aid worker you have sacrificed a lot for humanity.

Insinuating that the soldier who killed the aid worker had mental instability, Joseph wrote, “All I say mental health should be taken seriously in this part of the world so such eventuality will not repeat itself anymore.”

Meanwhile, Borno state governor, Professor Babagana Zulum, has also sent a condolence letter to the United Nations following the killing of Alem.
