Nigeria: Action Against Hunger condemns the assassination of its staff and four other hostages

It is with profound grief that we confirm the assassination of Ishaku Yakubu, Action Against Hunger staff member from the Monguno base, and four aid workers who were taken hostage by a non-state armed group in Borno State, north eastern Nigeria, on June 8, 2020. The aid workers were not working at the time of their abduction. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and colleagues in Nigeria.
