President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the government and people of Burkina Faso of Nigeria’s support. This followed a deadly terrorist attack that claimed 35 citizens in that country. Speaking on the attack, which happened on Tuesday in Arbinda, the northern part of the country, President Buhari said the slaying of 31 women among the innocent victims was cowardly and remains condemned by reasonable opinion all over the world. “I look forward to that meeting,” said the President, assuring that “as we have done all the time, we will stand with our brothers and sisters in West Africa in all situations,” he said. President Buhari commended the Burkinabe troops for repelling the deadly attack and prayed for the repose of the souls of those killed.
