President Bola Ahmed Tinubu‘s government of Nigeria has denounced Israel’s recent assault on Iran, characterising it as an action that has perilously heightened tensions between the two countries.
In a statement released on Saturday by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa, the federal government conveyed profound concern regarding the escalating hostilities, which have included ongoing missile and aerial strikes exchanged by Iran and Israel.
The Nigerian government called for an immediate cessation of the violence and urged both nations to exercise utmost restraint.
