Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the overnight attack on a school by suspected Islamist rebels that killed at least 29 students in the northeast.
Jonathan’s government “will not relent in its ongoing efforts to end the scourge of terrorism,” his spokesman Reuben Abati said in a statement e-mailed late yesterday. The security forces will persist “until the dark cloud of mass murder and destruction of lives and property is permanently removed from our horizon.”
