President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with Egypt and the government and people over the heartless attacks on a mosque in North Sinai that left many dead after prayers.
The president in a statement on Friday, November 24, by Shehu Garba, his senior special assistant on media and publicity, condemned the dastardly act on innocent worshippers, which further reinforces the position that terrorism has no relationship or respect for any religion, and should be visited with the full wrath of the law.

He reiterated that the workable panacea to such mindless and irresponsible attacks on citizens would be a global joint action that continually shares intelligence, simulates scenarios and regularly updates on both local and international threats.
President Buhari prays that the almighty God will receive the souls of the departed, and comfort the families of those directly affected.
