The US condemned the brutal killing and sympathised with families of those killed. The United States on Monday reacted to Saturday’s massacre of 43 farmers by Boko Haram at a rice farm in Borno, Northeast Nigeria.
“The United
States condemns in the strongest terms the November 28 violent attack in Borno,
Nigeria.
“The United
States offers our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those
killed or kidnapped,” a statement from the US Embassy in Nigeria said.
The statement
said the US abhorred the attack and pledged to work with Nigeria to defeat
terrorism.
“These
abhorrent attacks are a stark reminder of why the United States stands with the
Nigerian government and people as they fight to defeat terrorism and work to
bring the perpetrators to justice,” it said.
Boko Haram
terrorists had on Saturday slaughtered 43 farm workers near Maiduguri, Borno,
Northeast Nigeria.
The
assailants reportedly tied up the agricultural workers and slit their throats
in the village of Koshobe.
