US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken pledged on Wednesday that the United States would hold the perpetrators of an attack on an American convoy in Nigeria accountable, noting that the convoy was on a mission as part of efforts to respond to floods.
“We condemn this attack in the strongest terms. We will continue to work closely with our Nigerian law enforcement counterparts to bring those responsible to justice,” Blinken said in a statement.
He added, confirming Nigerian police reports that the attack, which took place in Anambra state in southeastern Nigeria, killed “at least” four people.
The two-vehicle convoy was carrying nine people, all Nigerians, five of them working for the US government and four policemen.
