President Buhari added that the “dastardly and callous attack” on innocent citizens, which includes a mayor in Niger Republic, was a disturbing setback to the regional efforts to curb terrorism.
“Terrorism shouldn’t be treated as a localized security threat, because it’s spreading its tentacles far beyond our imaginations.
“It’s high time we pulled resources and efforts together to defeat these callous criminals who are causing serious social and economic disruptions in our countries. Nigeria will continue to support our neighbour’s in the common efforts to fight terrorism.”
