The United State government on Wednesday expressed worry over the incessant attacks on citizens of Nigeria living in the northern part of the country.
by Michael Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State from its Nigeria embassy said the recent killings are senseless and brazen.
“These horrific crimes follow the shooting of a pastor and his pregnant wife on June 1 and the killing of an imam, local village head, and several civilians on June 5 in the course of intercommunal violence in Taraba State. The U.S., however, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take necessary actions in insecurity in the country.
On Sunday, PREMIUM TIMES’ analysis revealed that over 150 persons died following the attack as many were also injured.
