The United States has condemned the March 16 bombing where dozens of people were killed and several others injured at a Mosque near Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, Northeast Nigeria.
A statement by the Public Affairs Section of the United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria, read “We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the latest victims of Boko Haram’s senseless brutality.
Boko Haram continues to commit vicious attacks against innocent civilians, including children. It has demonstrated repeatedly its disregard for the lives of the tens of thousands it has killed, raped, and injured and the millions it has displaced in the Lake Chad Basin region”.
The United States says it will continue to support those affected by Boko Haram’s violence through ongoing humanitarian aid and victim support services while it remains committed to assisting its partners in the Lake Chad Basin region who are leading the fight to end Boko Haram’s wanton violence and restore peace.
