Nigerians in Diaspora Organization Europe (NIDOE) denounces the action of a suspected Terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab

London, December 27^th, 2009

Nigerians in Diaspora Organization Europe (NIDOE) wants to make its position clear as the umbrella organization of Diaspora Nigerians in Europe to the entire international community, that we condemn and denounce the action by a Nigerian passenger suspected to be a terrorist - identified as one Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, on a Northwest/Delta Airlines flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Detroit, USA. NIDOE condemns any act of terrorism and/or violence in whatever form. Terrorism is an alien concept to Nigerians.

We are grateful and thankful to God that no one was hurt. We applaud the courage and heroism of some of the passengers who put their lives in danger in subduing the alleged terrorist. Nigerians are peaceful, law abiding and friendly people.

NIDOE calls on the Nigerian government, the United States of America and all well-meaning peoples of the world to investigate this act in all its ramifications in order to forestall such occurrences in the future.

NIDOE encourages all Nigerians in Diaspora to be upright, law abiding citizens of their host countries and we actively promote integration and positive contributions to our host countries and communities. We will keep a keen eye on the development of this case, and offer any support necessary with the desired outcome to see justice being served as we await further facts of the matter.

Thank you.
