Buhari condemns Boko Haram attack on UN helicopter in Borno

President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned a Boko Haram attack on a United Nations helicopter in Borno State.

helicopter was hit by bullets during the attack. No aid workers were on board at the time and crew members are all safe,” the UN humanitarian coordinator in Nigeria Edward Kallon, said in a statement. “Boko Haram terrorists are clearly on the back foot and their increasing attacks on innocent civilians, including UN humanitarian workers, was part of their desperation to prove that they are strong in order to cover up their dwindling fortunes.”

The latest attack on a UN asset occurs five months after a separate attack on another UN facility in Borno.“An entire section of the facility was burned down as well as one of the few vehicles UN agencies rely on for movement and aid delivery,” Mr Kallon had said of the January attack.

That's all his best. Shock and condemn!!!
