THE United Nations has condemned the reported ambush and brutal killing of more than 30 civilians in Mukdolo village in Ngala Local Government Area in Borno State yesterday.
The UN, through its Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mr. Matthias Schmale, extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The UN said the attack is another horrific reminder of the real threats of violence and insecurity that IDPs and other people affected by more than 13 years of the non-international armed conflict in the region continue to face daily in their struggle to survive.
It reminded all parties to the conflict to adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law to protect civilians from harm.
The intergovernmental organization also called on State authorities to speedily investigate this crime and swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.
