United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres commemorated those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack on the UN House in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, 15 years ago.

In a post on his social media account, Guterres said the attack killed 23 people and injured many others, noting that 11 United Nations personnel were among those who lost their lives.

Guterres said that on the anniversary of the attack they also remembered the families of those who died and the survivors, stating, “Today and every day, we remember those who lost their lives and their families, the survivors, and we continue to carry their legacy in our hearts and in our work.”

Emphasizing that the victims and those affected by the attack have not been forgotten by the UN community despite 15 years having passed since the attack on the UN House in Abuja, Guterres said the memory of those who lost their lives would continue to be kept alive.
