The United Nations has condemned the spate of attacks on aid workers providing support to victims of insurgency in the northeast.
Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, revealed that twelve of them were killed last year, which is twice the figure recorded in the previous year.
He blamed the killings on the environment in which they carry out their duties, emphasising that the level of insecurity in the northeast has been on the rise.
He also called for an end to the activities of insurgents at various checkpoints in the region, saying the trend has exposed a lot of innocent citizens to attacks.
