The victims were committed humanitarians who devoted their lives to helping vulnerable people and communities in an area heavily affected by violence.
The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, has condemned the killing of five aid workers by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno.
“Our colleagues and partners were abducted while travelling on a main route connecting the northern town of Monguno with Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. “These checkpoints disrupt the delivery of life-saving assistance and heighten the risks for civilians of being abducted, killed or injured, with aid workers increasingly being singled out.
Mr Kallon said that all aid workers and the assistance they provide to the most vulnerable populations made the difference between life and death for entire communities.
