Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) on Friday announced that it had suspended its work in the town of Rann in Borno State.

MSF has also evacuated its national and international staff after a deadly raid by Boko Haram.

The incident left three staff dead.

Three aid workers were also injured in the attack, and a female nurse is feared to have been abducted.

MSF said in a statement said: “Following a violent attack in Rann, Borno state, on Thursday 1 March, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) suspended its medical activities in the town and evacuated 22 national and international staff,”

“It is still unclear how many people were killed and injured but before leaving, MSF medical staff treated 9 wounded patients.

“This attack is a stark reminder that it is the people in Borno who are paying the price of this ruthless conflict”.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu has condemned the incident.

He said the attack on humanitarian workers more than ever shows Boko Haram insurgents as godless, brutish, and utterly to be despised.
