UN Condemns Borno Massacre, Demands Justice for 63 Victims

The United Nations has strongly condemned the killing of at least 63 people in Darajamal village, Borno State, in a suspected Boko Haram terrorist attack. The incident, which occurred on a Friday evening, resulted in the deaths of five soldiers and 58 civilians, with 20 houses, vehicles, and valuable items belonging to Internally Displaced Persons destroyed.

The UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Nigeria, Mohamed Fall, called the attack appalling and urged Nigerian authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. The UN noted a rising wave of violent attacks in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States this year, targeting farmers, fishermen, traders, and IDP camps.

The organization reaffirmed its commitment to supporting those affected by the conflict in the region.
