We are deeply saddened by the terrorist attack perpetrated yesterday (May 1) in a bus station in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, killing and injuring many people. We strongly condemn this merciless attack. We express our condolences and wish fortitude to the families of the deceased and hope for a speedy recovery of the injured.
