President Goodluck Condemns Terrorist Attack on Peshawar

The Nigerian President condemned the atrocious, savage, senseless and totally unjustifiable killing of innocent students and staff during the attack in Peshawar.
President Goodluck Jonathan in a statement extended his condolences to the Government and People of Pakistan on the death of over 140 Pakistanis in Tuesday’s terrorist attack on Peshawar.

Jonathan assured Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the people of Pakistan that Nigeria would continue to stand in solidarity with them as they bemoan the victims of the heinous attack and strive to give succor to the injured and the bereaved.
President Jonathan prayed that God Almighty would comfort all the bereaved families of Peshawar and grant the injured speedy recovery.
He believes that the atrocity in Peshawar and recurring terrorist crimes across the world strongly reinforce the need for urgent action towards the formation of more effective regional, continental and global alliances against insurgency and violent extremism.
