Buhari Commiserates with Egyptian Government over Mosque Attack

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his condolences to the government and people of Egypt over the attacks on a mosque in North Sinai on Friday that left over 235 dead after prayers.

Buhari, in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, also condemned the dastardly act on innocent worshippers,
which further reinforces the position that terrorism has no relationship or respect for any religion and should be visited with the full wrath of the law.

The President reiterated that the workable panacea to such mindless and irresponsible attacks on citizens would be a global joint action that continually shares intelligence, simulates scenarios and regularly updates on both local and international threats. Buhari prayed that the Almighty God would receive the souls of the departed and comfort the families of those directly affected.
