UN Condemns Killing Of 63 People In Borno, Demands Probe
The United Nations has condemned the killing of 63 people in Borno State by suspected Boko Haram terrorists and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
The attack, which occurred on Friday in Darajamal Village, Bama LGA, left five soldiers and 58 civilians dead. Over 20 houses, vehicles, and food items belonging to resettled IDPs were also destroyed, while several people were reportedly abducted.
In a statement, UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mohamed Fall, described the killings as “appalling” and stressed that civilians should never be targets.
He extended condolences to the victims’ families and urged Nigerian authorities to ensure accountability and the release of abductees.
Fall noted that the attack was part of a surge in violent assaults across Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states this year, which have claimed hundreds of civilian lives.
The UN reaffirmed its commitment to supporting people affected by the conflict while urging all parties to respect international humanitarian and human rights law.
