Terrorist attack in London, 4 killed & many injured

Four persons have been reported dead while 40 others are injure, following a terror attack at the UK parliament, on Wednesday, March 22.

BBC reports that a policeman and the attacker were among those killed.

Prime Minister Theresa May, who chaired a Cobra meeting this evening, said the full details of the "sick and depraved terrorist attack" were still emerging. 

She confirmed there was one attacker and the UK's threat level of "severe" will not change.

There will be an update from the Metropolitan Police later this evening, she said

"Let me make it clear today... any attempt to defeat those values through violence is doomed to failure.

"Parliament will come together as normal... and Londoners will get up and go about their day as normal... they will walk these streets, they will live their lives... never giving into terror and never allowing the voices of hate and evil to drive us apart," she said.

President Muhammadu Buhari has sent out a message of hope to Theresa May, the British Prime Minister, and the people of the United Kingdom.

President Buhari condemned Wednesday’s terrorist attack near the United Kingdom Parliament Building at Westminster, London.

The President sympathized with the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, assuring her that the government and people of Nigeria “stand with Britons at this sad and trying moment in their country.”

The statement which was released by special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, noted that the president prayed God almighty will comfort the grieving families and heal the injured. More photos after the cut.....
