Ban condemns Boko Haram attacks

The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, on Monday in New York, condemned “the continuing horrific attacks against civilians in north eastern Nigeria by Boko Haram.”

He said the attacks had become an almost daily occurrence, as demonstrated over the weekend on villages and churches near Chibok, where Boko Haram abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in April.

Ban in a statement, reiterated the readiness of the United Nations to support Nigeria in tackling the challenge in a manner consistent with its international human rights obligations.

He conveyed his solidarity and sympathy to the victims of the violence as well as the people of Nigeria.
