The British government on Saturday condemned the recent Boko Haram attacks which had left more than 100 people dead.
In a statement issued by the Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, Britain stated that the recent attacks by the Islamist insurgents in the holy month of Ramadan were appalling.
Speaking following the attacks, Duddridge said, “I am appalled by the recent attacks in Borno State in which over 100 people have been killed. These attacks deliberately targeted Muslim worshippers during the holy month of Ramadan. My thoughts and sympathies are with the victims and their families.
“These attacks serve as a stark reminder of the threat posed by Boko Haram, which deliberately targets the weak and vulnerable and those, both Muslim and Christian, who will not subscribe to their extremist and intolerant views. The United Kingdom remains firm in our determination to support Nigeria in the fight against terrorism.”
