In a statement released on Thursday, the US State Department’s Bureau of African Affairs expressed concern over the continued attacks in Plateau State.
Moreover, the United States Government called on security agencies to ensure those behind the killings are identified and prosecuted.
The American government also extended its condolences to the victims’ families and communities affected by the attack, while stressing the need for stronger measures to protect vulnerable populations across Nigeria’s Middle Belt.
“The United States strongly condemns the horrific killing of members of Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo’s family in Plateau State, Nigeria,” the bureau said.
