The White House has reacted to attacks on United States convoy in Anambra state on Tuesday,.
The attack took place in the southeastern Anambra state, with Anambra Police Command telling pressmen that the attackers “murdered two police operatives and two staff of the US consulate and set their bodies and their vehicles ablaze.”
The personnel who were killed were not US citizens, according to the White House and the local police. “No US citizens were involved and therefore there were no US citizens hurt,” said John Kirby of the US National Security Council. “We are aware of some casualties, perhaps even some killed.”
Those who died include two personnel from the US consulate and two police officers.
Police said that joint security forces “have embarked on a rescue and recovery operation in the area.”
A State Department spokesperson said Tuesday that “Mission Nigeria personnel are working with Nigerian security services to investigate.”
