Nigeria’s federal authorities have extended their formal sympathies to Algeria after a tragic vehicle collision in Boumerdès Province resulted in 27 fatalities and over 40 injuries.
Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated on Sunday that Nigeria is grieving the incident, which took place near El Karma on July 31, 2026, as a bus made its way from Sétif to Algiers.
The Nigerian government noted that President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has announced a three-day national mourning period to commemorate the deceased. Nigeria reaffirmed its support for Algeria throughout this difficult time.
Official statements conveyed prayers for the families affected by the tragedy, hope for a quick recovery for those injured, and an expression of faith in the strength of the Algerian population.
