President Buhari’s statement is coming as Burkina Faso grapple with the aftermath of Friday night’s terrorist attack on Ouagadougou.
In a telephone call to President Kabore on Saturday, the President expressed shock at the attack on the Splendid Hotel in Burkina Faso’s capital in which 26 persons were reportedly killed and a further 56 injured.
“Accept my sympathy over what happened in your country. I am however glad to hear that your forces have rallied, and things are now under control,” President Buhari told his counterpart.
He assured President Kabore that Nigeria would continue to work with Burkina Faso, other members of the Economic Community of West African States, the African Union and other peace-loving nations of the world to overcome the scourge of international terrorism.
