Statement by the Nigeria Humanitarian Coordinator, Mohamed Fall, on the killing of scores of civilians in Bama, Borno State.

I am deeply appalled and saddened by Friday’s reported killing of dozens of civilians in Darajamal Village, Bama Local Government Area (LGA), in Borno State in north-east Nigeria. Civilians should never be a target!

Preliminary reports indicate that more than 50 civilians were killed when suspected members of a non-state armed group (NSAG) attacked Darajamal on the evening of 5 September. An unknown number of people were also allegedly abducted, with others fleeing with injuries. At least 28 houses were also reportedly burned during the attack. The number of casualties is expected to change as more information becomes available.

On behalf of the United Nations in Nigeria, I convey my heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed and those affected, and to the Government and the people of Borno State and wish the injured a speedy recovery.

I call on security authorities to apprehend the perpetrators of this heinous attack and swiftly bring them to justice. I also call for the immediate release of all those abducted.

This recent killing of civilians is yet another grim reminder of the toll of rising violent attacks and insecurity in Borno State this year. Multiple attacks against civilians have been recorded leading to the deaths of hundreds of civilians in Borno alone. The attacks, ranging from targeted attacks on communities to internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, using improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings and other tactics have targeted civilians including farmers, fishermen, travelers and traders.

Deadly attacks against civilians have also been recorded in neighbouring Adamawa and Yobe states with a rural health centre, grain stores and a market among targeted areas.

I reiterate my call to parties to the conflict to protect civilians as well as their property and to adhere to international humanitarian and human rights law.

The UN reaffirms its commitment to continue supporting people affected by conflict to complement Government efforts.

This organization UN…. At times I feel like they do not understand the situation…
It’s actually beyond condemnation

Tinubu has not said anything

He was elected to be flying from one country to the other.

Over 60 people killed and everywhere is silent.

They are waiting for Peter obi to react first. So you think Tinubu really give a dam to the daily killings going on in the country? Bulaba is thinking of 2027 elections nothing concern am with the mass killings, his front desk miscreants are there to monitor Obi

In serious clans, his absence and lack of compassion is enough reason to demand for his resignation but in Nigeria he will be praised for not caring at all.

Umu mkpi will not come close to this thread

UN is here condemning... Journalists all over the world are condemning.

But, Nigerian leaders and top Journalists are sweeping it under the carpet.

Governors are lining up to wave farewell to Tinubu as he embarks on his third or 4th vacation this year alone.

Others are fighting over who will win the rigging competition of 2027.

FG should declare state of emergency on insecurity before it goes out of hand.
The DSS need to to be more proactive in detecting most of this incident at the planning stage before the terrorist are able to carry it out.

Meanwhile look at the way the thread is dry because it's not happening in the middle east.

You expect Tinubu care for the insecurities embraced by these same northerners. Bro, you can't defeat these people because it's an ideology and unfortunately the northerners are also supporting the killers because they are their brothers practicing the same religion. If the government starts serious offensive against them, no be the same northerners go call Amnesty international that the govt is killing their people. To be sincere, majority of those killings are politically motivated and there's nothing you can do to please these northerners.

The APC government has not reacted 24 hours after the killings. When Obi reacts they will say he is playing politics. Especially that bipolar bulldog in Aso rock.
A country in turmoil and the so called father of the nation is going on vacation.
What responsible father leaves his household to robbers and rapists and goes to another man's house to put up his feet on the table whilst eating bush meat and drinking palmwine?

You think he imposed himself on us because he cares about us? Baba is there to enjoy life, and nothing more

I hope the Nairaland moderators are seeing this already.... I hope @seunosewa can ban this person and also take this down immediately

So Tinubu should leave them to keep killing themselves?

Now all left for them is to write a letter to Israel

Hope the federal government will not sue the UN for lying...
Nigeria is free from Islamic terrorism and corruption

My problem with Nigeria is that we dont like to speak truth to situations. Why call terrorists "Non state armed groups"? It is like we are protecting them.

Why want to be president just to watch the country burn irrespective whatever devilish reasons. You control the armed forces,you claim to be a strong man and not a coward what's stopping you from stopping this mess if not greed and politics.

"Shetimma will handle security"...we are still waiting

UN condemns killing on Babies and women in Gaza.

Why are you mentioning me here, I don't support APC please. That I'm against US & Israeli aggressive/militaristic foreign policy decisions in the Middle East Region doesn't mean I'm a Muslim or APC supporter.
Please be guided and quote responsibly.

They think anyone not supporting Isreal’s genocide is a Muslim.

The UN knows what to do in Nigeria to stop the killings and conflict, but it would not do that.
The genesis of the killings and conflicts in Nigeria is adoption of unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system by the political and religious leaders in the 12 far north Nigeria states
Nigeria is a farcical country of diverse interest groups cobbled together for another country's economic interest.

To stop the killings in Nigeria, the UN needs to sponsor and conduct a referendum on who wants to remain a Nigerian.

Exactly.

Will the dead have been of any electoral value to tinubus second term ambition?

If not, it does not matter to tinubu or his supporters if their lives have been cut short

UN and crocodile tears.

The entire world has left the whole black race behind.

The entire world has moved on without the black race.

The world see black people as rascals and slaves.

God has left Africa long time ago.
