President Goodluck Jonathan extends heartfelt condolences to the
government and people of Kenya and to the families of those who died today
in the gruesome terrorist attack on the Garissa University College in
Kenya.
President Jonathan utterly condemns the deliberate targeting of innocent
persons, schools and other soft targets by terrorists as such atrocious,
despicable and barbaric acts of violence ought to have no place in any
civilized society.
The President assures President Uhuru Kenyatta and the brotherly people of
Kenya that Nigeria stands in full solidarity with them as they come to
grips once again with the aftermath of another heinous terrorist attack on
their country.
Nigeria, President Jonathan affirms, will continue to work with Kenya,
other African countries and the international community to rid the world
of all terrorist groups.
The President believes that the attack on the Kenyan University and other
similar atrocities across the world must strengthen and solidify the
resolve of the global community to take more urgent and co-ordinated
actions to speedily defeat the agents of global terror.
