We should stand as one and resist Boko Haram. We are all responsible for stopping them – Koffi Annan

The former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Mr. Kofi Annan has voiced his support for Nigeria’s ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency campaign against the Boko Haram Islamic fundamentalists, describing the recent Baga massacre as brutal.

Annan stated this Wednesday in Abuja during a press briefing, which formed part of the activities of his visit to the country ahead of the February general elections.

The former ‎UN scribe said that no matter the number being quoted, whether in the thousands or hundreds, the killings of innocent Nigerians by the terror organization is ungodly and unacceptable.

He said: “Terrorism is a global issue. It is a concern to all of us. We should stand as one and resist Boko Haram. We are all responsible for stopping them. Baga massacre was brutal and ungodly.

“I have been receiving conflicting figures. Some said 2,000 people died, while others are saying they are in their hundreds. But it was a massacre”.
