Buhari said Nigeria would continue to stand by all its neighbours in the fight against terrorism.

 

He said the mass killings underscore the enormous security challenges facing Niger Republic as they prepared to inaugurate their new President, Mohamed Bazoum and indeed the entire sub-Saharan region.


He stressed the need for the sub-region to work more closely to end the scourge of terror.
