NGF condemns killing of 4 aid workers by Boko Haram


The Northern Governors Forum (NGF) said the execution of four aid workers by terrorists in the North-eastern Nigeria is condemnable.


It said the act was regrettable and a conduct that will not go unpunished. 


Chairman of the Forum and Plateau state governor Simon Lalong, made the condemnation in a press statement, issued by his Director of Press and Public Affairs, Dr. Makut Macham, Monday in Jos.


The statement decried the; “heinous act, describing it as regrettable and a conduct that will not go unpunished.”

Lalong said he was: “Saddened by the development which is not only condemnable, but a crime against humanity and good conscience.


 “As Northern Governors, we are determined to continue working with the Federal Government, Security Agencies, the Citizens and all stakeholders in overcoming this evil that is perpetrated by criminally minded persons.”


The Chairman urged aid workers and those offering essential services to IDPs and other needy people in the North East and other areas not to be deterred by this set back which cannot be allowed to rubbish the sacrifices and good work that has been put into the fight against insurgency. 


Lalong commiserated with the family and loved ones of the aid workers for the anguish which befell them simply because their relatives offered themselves to serve humanity and help those in need.
