Members of Boko Haram, an Islamist militant
group operating in northern Nigeria, could be
found guilty of "war crimes", a spokesperson
for the Office of the High Commissioner for
Human Rights (OHCHR) said on Tuesday.
In a briefing to the press in Geneva, Cécile
Pouilly, condemned last weekend's
"atrocious" attack on a wedding convoy in
Borno state, where some 30 guests were
ambushed and killed.
Located near the border with Cameroon, the
Bama-Mubi-Banki road, on which the attack
took place, is notorious for attacks carried out
by the Islamist group.
"According to information which OHCHR had
received, there were attacks almost on a daily
basis in the North East of Nigeria, especially in
Borno and neighbouring areas. OHCHR
strongly condemned the cowardly attacks by
Boko Haram, who continued to target civilians, including students and worshippers, politicians, members of
Government institutions, foreign nationals, as well as security forces. Members of Boko Haram and other groups
and entities, if judged to have committed widespread or systematic attacks against a civilian population, including
on grounds such as religion or ethnicity, could be found guilty of crimes against humanity.”
During the attack, Pouilly added, four soldiers were killed, their post burnt down, and a bridge link to a nearby
town was bombed.
OHCHR is also following up on allegations of abuses and human rights violations committed by security forces
during operations.
