The UN’s human rights office on Tuesday in Geneva condemned the killing of scores of villagers by suspected Boko Haram Islamists in Nigeria, and urged the government to do more to protect civilians.

“We condemn in the strongest terms Sunday’s attack by gunmen against eight villages in Adamawa and Borno States, which led to the death of more than 150 people,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokeswoman for the UN high commissioner for human rights.

“We are appalled by the extreme and indiscriminate violence which Nigeria has being witnessing in recent times,” she told reporters.

Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and many villagers have fled their communities in fear of further attacks.
