The UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon has called on all sects in
Nigeria to put a stop to their attacks, after dozens of people were
killed in the north-east part of the country. The Islamic terrorist
group, Boko Haram, had on August 11, burst into a mosque where scores
of people were praying and started shooting, leaving at least 44 dead.
Following the havoc of the group, the U.S. government is offering a seven million dollars reward for information that would lead to the capture of Abubakar Shekau, leader of the sect.
''The Secretary-General strongly condemns the recent violent attacks that have killed scores of civilians in the localities of Mafa and Kondugo in Borno state," his spokesperson, Martin Nesirky said in a statement.
According to the statement, Ban called on all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and other peaceful means.
''The Secretary-General reiterates his firm conviction that no objective can be attained through such violence," the statement added.
