FG Condemns Deadly Terror Attack in Kashmir, India By Raymond Enoch
In a swift and solemn response to the tragic events unfolding in South Kashmir, the Federal Government of Nigeria has issued a strong condemnation of the recent terrorist attack in the Pahalgam region, which claimed the lives of 26 people, predominantly tourists, and left several others wounded.
Describing the assault as “unfortunate” and “devastating,” Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a press statement released Tuesday, expressed deep sorrow over the incident and extended heartfelt condolences to the government and people of India.
“Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is a global menace that requires collective action and firm commitment from the international community,” the statement read. “Nigeria, having faced similar challenges, understands the devastating impact of such acts of violence and reiterates its call for enhanced global cooperation to combat terrorism and extremism.”
Signed by Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, spokesperson of the Ministry, the statement emphasized solidarity with India during this period of national mourning, reaffirming Nigeria’s commitment to the global fight against terror.
As a nation long plagued by the scourge of extremist violence, particularly in its northeast region, Nigeria brings a voice of experience and empathy to the international conversation on counterterrorism. The Foreign Affairs Ministry’s message not only mourns the lives lost but also renews a clarion call for unity among nations to confront the roots and networks of global terrorism.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of India as they recover from this tragedy, and we stand united in the shared pursuit of peace, stability, and justice worldwide,” the Ministry stated.
The attack in Kashmir has drawn international condemnation, and Nigeria’s voice joins a chorus of global leaders demanding stronger collective security measures and intelligence-sharing efforts to prevent further atrocities.
As India grapples with the aftermath, Nigeria’s message of support reflects a growing recognition among nations that terror has no borders—and neither should the response.
