President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed shock and sadness over the terrible attacks on several churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on the holy day of Easter.
His Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Sunday.
On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, the President extended deepest condolences to the families of those killed in the attacks and wished speedy recovery to the injured.
“We stand with victims of terrorism all over the world because we know and understand this harrowing inhuman activity,” the President said.
Noting that Nigeria stands with the people of Sri Lanka at this terrible moment, President Buhari urged the authorities not to spare the wicked elements behind these mischievous attacks.
