Outcry and condemnation have continued to trail Sunday’s Boko Haram’s Attack on Yobe state College of Education leaving about 40 students dead.

The European Union describes the incident as horrific even as it promised to help Nigeria in her fight against terrorism.

Vice President of the European Commission, Catherine Ashton, said in a statement “the High Representative condemns the horrific terrorist attack perpetrated today in Yobe State and those that took place on previous days and weeks in Northern Nigeria in Abuja and elsewhere. Her thoughts are with the victims and their families.

On his own part, Nigeria’s Senate president David Mark in a statement added, ““there are more than enough channels of communication and ways of redressing misgivings. These killings, especially innocent citizens, are not part of our culture. They are truly alien to us. All right thinking members of the society must rise up to end this carnage ravaging our land.”
