 Meanwhile, Mr Edward Kallon, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, has condemned the murder of the aid workers, stressing that “aid workers put their lives on the line every single day to provide emergency assistance to vulnerable women, children and men.

“Our deepest condolences go to the families of the victims and our brave colleagues and we call on authorities to ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.’’

Kallon said about 7.7 million people were in need of humanitarian assistance in 2018 in the worst-affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, and 6.1 million targeted for humanitarian assistance due to the most severe humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict in northeast and Lake Chad region. “Now in its ninth year, the crisis shows no sign of abating,’’ he added.

He noted that the UN and non-governmental humanitarian organisations were working in the northeast to provide aid, including food, safe water and medicine to some 6.1 million people in need.
