Signed by her Special Assistant on Media, Halima Musa, the statement noted that humanitarian personnel ought not to be target of any attacks.Farouq condoled with the UN, International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the Federal Government on the unfortunate incident, describing the loss as irreplaceable.
