The United Nations has called for the release of its aid workers abducted in Kalabalge Local Government Area of Rann, Borno State, in March 2018.
The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Edward Kallon, said this on Friday, during a news conference with Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State, marking this year’s World Humanitarian Day.
Kallon also condemned the attack on humanitarian workers in the northeast region, which he said claimed the lives of three workers while the three aid workers abducted in Rann remain in captivity.
The Borno State Governor, on his part, said the state government recognises the support of the UN in tackling the humanitarian crisis in the state especially in the areas of acute malnutrition in children.
He praised the humanitarian workers for their courage, sacrifice and professionalism in rendering services to displaced persons and others in need.
