ABUJA-Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the suicide bomb attack on the UN building in Abuja.

 Reacting to the latest bomb incident in the nation’s capital in a statement, the former Vice-President noted that indiscriminate violence against the innocent could not solve any problem in any society.

According to him, there was no alternative to dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts.

He explained that as an international institution committed to peace and the well-being of humanity, the United Nations staff should be protected at all times rather than being put in harms way for whatever reason.

Abubakar argued that violence against the innocent desecrated the principle on the sanctity of life which has been preached by all religions of the world. He warned that violence could paralyse society, thereby undermining the pursuit of happiness.
