Amnesty International condemns the attack that killed over 30 travellers.
Amnesty International has condemned the massacre of stranded travellers in Auno village of Borno State, with a call on the Nigerian government to do more to secure innocent citizens.
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State blamed the military for the attack, saying authorities had ignored repeated requests for a military base to be established at Auno. The governor also said the attack took no place because soldiers had abandoned their duty posts. In its statement Tuesday, Amnesty the massacre of at least 30 travellers by Boko Haram “is vicious, and yet another demonstration of the group’s disregard for the sanctity of human life.”
The former governor, under whose senatorial district Auno, a village in Konduga local government area, is located, said the resurgence of Boko Haram needs to be checked.
