Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the latest attacks of the terrorist group Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria that left at least fifty dead.
"The secretary general condemns the continued hard Boko Haram attacks against the civilian population in northeast Nigeria," said the office of UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
The UN spokesman regretted that such violence has become "an almost daily routine" in the African country, in the same area where the Islamist terrorist group abducted more than two hundred girls near Chibok last April.
Ban, who expressed his solidarity with the Government and people of Nigeria, reiterated the readiness of the United Nations to support the country in its response to these attacks consistently and in compliance with their obligations under international law.
At least 50 people were killed in attacks allegedly perpetrated Sunday by the terrorist group Boko Haram against different churches in three towns in northeastern Nigeria, reported Efe sources of local government.
The attacks were carried out successively in Kautikari populations, and Karagau Kwada, located a few kilometers from Chibok.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but police said the Islamist group as alleged perpetrator, which intensifies Boko Haram a spiral of violence that has killed more than 3,000 people so far this year.
Boko Haram, which in local language means "non-Islamic education is a sin", struggle to impose an Islamic state in Nigeria, a country with a Muslim majority in the north and predominantly Christian south.
The terrorist group has killed 12,000 people and injured another 8,000 in the last five years, the government of Nigeria, Africa's most populous country suffered multiple voltages for its deep political, religious and regional differences.
