over the recent attacks.

first time this would happened; Nigerians have suffered similar attack in the
past; so, what we will like to see on this occasion is that the perpetrator
should be arrested. And we want to see diligent prosecution so that it would
serve as a deterrent to those who think they can take laws into their hands and
harass students who are going about their studies"he said

attacks and said that the Indian government have taken concrete steps to
address the incident and also promised that those who perpetrated the act would
