Obhrai Statement on Ramadan Bombings in Nigeria
24.07.2014 LISTEN

OTTAWA, Canada, July 24, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- The Honourable Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and for International Human Rights, today issued the following statement:

“Canada condemns in the strongest terms the two terrorist attacks in Nigeria's Kaduna region, which killed at least 82 innocent victims.

“These cowardly acts took place on one of the most important nights of Ramadan, and reports are that one of the bombs targeted former Nigerian leader General Buhari. They also follow on the heels of Boko Haram's brutal destruction of Damboa and recent attacks on Chibok, the hometown of the kidnapped girls.

“On behalf of all Canadians, I call for swift justice for the perpetrators of this violence and offer our sincere condolences to the families and friends of the victims.”
