In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nigeria described the attack as a painful reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorism around the world. The ministry’s spokesperson, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, who signed the statement, stressed the need for global cooperation to tackle violent extremism.
