The United Nations (UN) has condemned Boko Haram’s deadly attacks on civilians in Konduga, banki and Ngala areas of Borno state, Northeast Nigeria.

Boko Haram fighters killed an Islamic cleric at Kurumari village in Magumeri area of the state on Monday.

And at least 15 people were reportedly killed and 43 others injured in a suicide attack on Mashimari village in Borno state.

To this end, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, said in a statement that four attacks in recent weeks, three of which were carried out by suicide bombers, had claimed the lives of over 45 civilians and injured countless others.

Kallon said the incidents were indicative of a surge in the brutal violence triggered by a regionalised conflict that is now in its eighth year.

“Civilians are routinely killed in direct and indiscriminate attacks in the north-east of Nigeria.

“This conflict, with all its brutality and horrors, is reaching new lows, with more than 80 children used as human bombs in 2017 alone.

“I call upon all parties to the conflict to respect human life and dignity.

“The latest attack occurred on September 18 in Konduga area, about 28 kilometers southeast of Maiduguri.

“Three suicide bombers consecutively detonated explosive devices strapped to their bodies in Mashemari village, killing 13 and injuring many more,” he said.
