Convoy attack in Nigeria leaves 2 US consulate staffers, 2 policemen dead

BY SARAH MAY | MAY 18, 2023 | 11:45 PM

A harrowing scene unfolded in Nigeria on Tuesday when an armed attack on an American convoy left two staffers from the U.S. consulate and two police officers dead, as ABC News reported, citing information from the State Department.

Fox News noted that in addition to the aforementioned deaths, three other individuals were reportedly kidnapped while traveling in a group that was engaged in humanitarian efforts in the West African nation.

The attack occurred in the Ogbaru Local Government Area of Nigeria's Anambra State, a part of the country that has been beset by separatist violence, according to a statement issued by the State Department.

According to the press release, the convoy included nine Nigerian nationals, five of whom were employees of the American Mission to Nigeria, and four of whom were with the Nigeria Police Force.

The State Department indicated that while no motive has yet been identified for the attack, there has been no evidence yet to emerge that it was specifically directed toward the American Mission, and no Americans were among the dead.

Fox News noted that a joint security forces team was sent to the scene in the immediate aftermath of the attack but did not arrive until the perpetrators had already made their escape with two of the police officers and a driver.

Tochukwu Ikenga, a police spokesperson from Anambra State, described the incident in stark terms, declaring, “The hoodlums murdered two of the Police Mobile Force operatives and two staff of the consulate, and set their bodies ablaze and their vehicles.”

It seems that Boko Haram is still active. I saw an image of some of their fighters. They were wearing crossed bandoliers, styling just like gangbangers in Chicago would style their sweaters.
