Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan has condemned the
killing of scores of students at a school in Yobe State Tuesday morning.
The President, in a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Rueben Abati, described the mass murder as heinous, brutal
and mindless.
Gunmen believed to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect
had invaded the premises of the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, Yobe
about 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday, killing more than 43 of the students while they
were asleep.
“On behalf of himself and the Federal Government, President
Jonathan extends heartfelt condolences to the parents and relatives of the
murdered students.
“The President wholly condemns the heinous, brutal and
mindless killing of the guiltless students by deranged terrorists and fanatics
who have clearly lost all human morality and descended to bestiality.
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria and other security agencies
will continue to prosecute the war against terror with full vigour, diligence
and determination until the dark cloud of mass murder and destruction of lives
and property is permanently removed from our horizon,” he said in the statement.
