The UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Nigeria, Mohamed Fall, expressed deep sorrow over the aftermath of the suspected suicide attack on a mosque in Gamboru, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria. The attack resulted in the deaths of several people.
On behalf of the UN, Fall conveyed his sincere condolences to the families of the victims, as well as to the government and people of Borno State, and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded.
The UN envoy joined Borno State Governor Babagana Umare Zulum in strongly condemning the attack on the place of worship and supported his call for increased vigilance and enhanced security measures during the festive period.
The suspected terrorist attack was yet another reminder of the deadly cost of violence in Borno State. On September 5, more than 50 civilians were killed when members of an armed group attacked the village of Darajamal in Bama District. Other incidents included targeted attacks on communities and camps for internally displaced persons using improvised explosive devices.
Mohamed Fall reiterated his call on all parties to the conflict to protect civilians, including those gathering in places of worship, and their property, and to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law.
