Osinbajo in a statement by the Acting Presidential Spokesman, Mr Laolu Akande, described Saturday’s terror attack in the London Bridge as a sickening atrocity perpetrated by a misguided and cowardly group of terrorists.
According to Osinbajo, Nigeria stands with the government and people of the United Kingdom in her trying period.
NAN reports that authorities say seven people were killed and 48 injured after three knife-wielding assailants led a deadly rampage through central London, plowing a van into pedestrians on London Bridge and then running to a nearby open-air market.
