The All Progressives Congress has condemned the terrorist attack on the offices of a French Magazine, Charlie Hebdo, in Paris that left 12 dead, saying terrorism anywhere is abhorrent and will not win.
A statement on Friday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the senseless attack was a dagger in the heart of freedom of expression and press freedom, hence, should and must be condemned by all who believe in fundamental human rights.
It said any attack against these basic human rights is an attack on the society itself, thus, underlining the seriousness of the deadly attack on the French magazine.
“Nothing in the world can justify the action of some deranged gunmen in engaging in cold-blooded murder of innocent people simply because of their beliefs and way of life. Those who carried out these killings are despicable and barbaric human beings,” the statement said.
While commiserating with the French authorities and its media for the tragedy, the party said the authorities concerned must do everything within their powers to bring the perpetrators of the heinous crime to justice, to serve as a deterrent to others like them.
