Boko Haram Attacks UN Staff, Kills 5 by Amoyinoluwa24(op): 7:22pm On Feb 01, 2017
An armed group, suspected to be Boko Haram, attacked a U.N. technical team working along the border between Nigeria and Cameroon, killing five persons and wounding several,

According to the United Nations Office for West Africa, the attack occurred on Tuesday at around 1400 local time near the Cameroonian border town of Kontcha.

“The victims were one U.N. independent contractor, three Nigerian nationals and one Cameroonian national,” it added.

Mohamed Ibn Chambas, U.N. Special Representative for West Africa and the Sahel, condemned the attack.

While the attackers have not been identified, the area is within a region where fighters from Islamist militant group Boko Haram are active.

The insurgents have killed more than 15,000 people since 2009 and have recently stepped up suicide bombings.

The U.N. team was working on demarcating the more than 2,000 km (1,200 mile) land border which has been a source of friction between the neighbouring countries in the past.

I was just having a conversation with a friend this evening and he told me that his in law is among those killed. He went further to state that the security personnel attached to protect them left to a nearby town on a flimsy excuse of going to have a little chat with their colleagues before the attackers struck. I am sure the security guys are culpable in this case. They need to be interrogated and questioned

How unfortunate...However our resident daft has classed them as 'soft targets', nothing really to be worried about as far as our FG is concerned.

I hope the useless attackers rot in hell.

The North started Boko Haram (u can ask Obasanjo who went to negotiate on behalf of 9JA last 3-4yrs) but it spilled out of the control of their hands

Not surprised about news like this, the marauders have long infiltrated our security agencies even up to command levels.
