Attack on Church Services at Bayero University in Kano, Nigeria
Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
May 1, 2012
The
United States strongly condemns the recent attacks on innocent
civilians in Nigeria, including yesterday's disgraceful assault during
church services at Bayero University in Kano. We are concerned about
attacks on churches, news media, and government installations that
increasingly target innocent civilians across Northern Nigeria. We
condemn attempts by those in Nigeria who seek to inflame
Christian-Muslim tensions, and support those who recognize Nigeria’s
ethnic and religious diversity as one of the country’s greatest
strengths. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones
of those who were killed and injured.
