President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned in strong term the coordinated attacks on many churches and hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Day.
While 270 people were reportedly killed in the attacks, about 450 people were injured in the first major attack on the Indian Ocean island since the end of a civil war 10 years ago.
Seven people were arrested and three police officers were killed during a security forces raid on a house in the Sri Lankan capital several hours after the rash of attacks, some of which officials said were suicide bombs.
Buhari extended his condolences to the families of those killed in the attacks and wishes speedy recovery to the injured.
“Nigerians stands with the people of Sri Lankan at this terrible moment just as he urged the authorities not to spare the wicked elements behind these mischievous attacks,” Buhari said.
