other extremist organisations to the country.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Public Affairs Department

embassy in Nigeria.

Nigeria's efforts to” rescue the abducted Chibok girls and all others who

have been abducted in various communities”.
It particularly condemned in the strongest terms the attack on Gumsuri

village, Borno , which was reported to have been perpetrated by Boko

Haram.
“We are aware of reports from persons who fled the scene of the attack

that suspected Boko Haram gunmen kidnapped more than 100 women and

children and killed 35 people.
“We abhor such violence, which continues to take a terrible toll on the

people of Nigeria, and we extend our condolences to the victims and their

families.
“Boko Haram has shown no regard for human life,” it said.

thousands of innocent people in vicious attacks on schools, churches, and

mosques.
