The attack Boko Haram insurgents on northeastern Nigerian town of Dikwa in Borno State had “directly targeted” aid facilities, The United Nations said on Tuesday.
The UN’s humanitarian coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, in a statement said: “The attack started last night and, as information is still coming through, I am outraged to hear the premises of several aid agencies and a hospital were reportedly set ablaze or sustained damage,”
“This violent attack will affect the support provided to nearly 100,000 people who are desperately in need of humanitarian assistance and protection,” he said.
The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) group, which split from mainstream Boko Haram in 2016, is suspected to carry out the attack.
The government and the army have yet to comment.
President Muhammadu Buhari reshuffled the military command last month, raising hopes of a shift in strategy to end a 12-year-old conflict that has killed 36,000 people and forced around two million to flee their homes.
At least seven aid workers were abducted in an attack by Boko Haram insurgents on Tuesday at Dikwa Local Government Area of Borno State.
The insurgents during the attack also burnt the offices of the aid workers, destroyed government facilities, and hospitals belonging to NGOs.
An eyewitness told Channels Television that the insurgents stormed the town at 5:30 pm on Monday evening, and have since been in control of the town.
The eyewitness said troops have been battling to dislodge the town throughout the night.
