The Federal Government of Nigeria has condemned the
terrorist attack on two places of worship in the city of Christchurch in New
Zealand.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said this
in a statement by the Ministry’s Spokesperson, George Edokpa, on Friday in
Abuja.
Mr Onyeama condemned the attacks which took place during
Jumaat Prayers on Friday killing 49 Muslim worshippers and injured many others.
The minister who regretted the barbaric and vicious acts
unleashed against innocent worshippers expressed Nigeria’s sympathies to New
Zealand.
“Nigeria stands in solidarity with New Zealand in their time
of grief and fully supports the prosecution of the perpetrators of this heinous
crime to the fullest extent of the law,” he said.
He condoled with the government and the people of New
Zealand and prayed for God to grant the families of the victims the fortitude
to bear the irreparable loss and wished the injured speedy recovery.
