Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has strongly condemned the
killing of more than 50 students by gunmen at the College of Agriculture in
Gujba, Yobe State.
Suspected extremists gunned down the
students and injured several others as they slept in their dormitories during a
night attack early on Sunday.
According to the provost of the
college, Molima Idi Mato, the assault began at about 1.00 a.m. when the
extremists opened fire on the students.
Ban, in a statement issued by his
spokesperson, Martin Nesirky, extended his condolence to the families of the
bereaved and to the government and people of Nigeria on the tragic incident.
The secretary-general said he was
alarmed at the increasing brutality and frequency of attacks targeted at
students and teachers in the northern part of the country.
Ban, who demanded an immediate end to
such outrageous and senseless crimes, said that ‘‘there can be no justification
for such violence’’.
The statement said that the
secretary-general called for swift justice on the perpetrators and more efforts
to prevent similar attacks as well as adequate protection of people and
properties.
