In a statement released by the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mr Mohammed Malick, the United Nations strongly condemns the suicide bomb attacks on civilian populations in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State yesterday.
The exact number of people killed and injured remains unknown, but it appears that dozens of people gave reportedly been killed and seriously injured.
On 29 June, members of a nonstate armed group (NSAG) allegedly attacked a wedding part in Gwoza town with a person-born improvised explosive device (PBIED).
Dozens of people were killed in this attack, including children, women and men.
Reportedly this was followed byanother two attacks later the same day.
I am horrified by this attack on civilian populations and condemn such acts in the strongest terms.
