We are deeply saddened by the news that more than 300 school girls were abducted during an attack perpetrated by an armed group on a Boarding School in Zamfara State of Nigeria today (26 February).
We strongly condemn this heinous incident targeting innocent students. We wish those missing students to rejoin their families safe and sound as soon as possible. We convey our deepest sympathies to the friendly and brotherly people and Government of Nigeria.
