In a statement issued by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the country expressed heartfelt sorrow over the loss of human lives claimed by the incident.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives caused by the terrorist attack that took place in Nigeria’s Kwara state,” the statement said.
“We strongly condemn this heinous attack and extend our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and to the people of Nigeria,” it added.
