New York (IINA) – UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday condemned Tuesday's terrorist bomb attack in the Nigerian city of Yola, which killed dozens and wounded several others, UN News Center reported.
“No political or ideological objective whatsoever justifies the loss of life and terror to which civilians are being subjected,” Ban said in a statement attributable to a spokesperson regarding Tuesday’s attack, which according to media reports killed more than 30 people and injured 80.
The Secretary General reiterated UN support for the Nigerian government in its fight against terrorism, “which – to be effective – should also be grounded in international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law,” the statement added.
He extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and to the government and people of Nigeria, and wished a speedy recovery to those injured.
