Law enforcement officers, he said, arrived only after the attackers had escaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby briefly addressed the incident at a White House press briefing on Tuesday, affirming \u201cit does look like a US convoy vehicle was attacked\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I can tell you is that no US citizens were involved and, therefore, there were no US citizens hurt,\u201d Kirby said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US Department of State later issued a statement saying its diplomatic staff were \u201cworking with Nigerian security services to investigate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe security of our personnel is always paramount, and we take extensive precautions when organising trips to the field,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attack took place along a major roadway at about 3:30pm local time (14:30 GMT). Police in Anambra have indicated they believe separatists are responsible for the attack as part of an escalating campaign of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials in the region often point to a separatist group called the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which has led a push to secede from Nigeria in favour of establishing its own republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, it formed a paramilitary organisation called the Eastern Security Network, ostensibly to protect local farmers and residents from crime \u2014 but Nigerian police have accused it of carrying out violent attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IPOB has denied any involvement in the violence. However, tensions have risen since the arrest of the group\u2019s founding leader Nnamdi Kanu, first in 2015 and again in 2021, after he had skipped bail and fled abroad for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kanu had faced charges of treason and terrorism, which he pleaded not guilty to. In October, an appellate court dropped the seven-count charge of terrorism against Kanu, saying the trial court lacked jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separatists have long rallied for a referendum to be organised over the question of independence in southeast Nigeria. But such questions come with a fraught history: In 1967, the Republic of Biafra declared independence, launching a three-year-long civil war in Nigeria that killed hundreds of thousands of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected attempts to hold a referendum, calling the country\u2019s unity non-negotiable. He is set to leave office at the end of this month after serving two four-year terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will be succeeded by President-elect Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news of Tuesday\u2019s convoy killings comes on the heels of an overnight attack late on Monday in the north-central state of Plateau, where village raids left an estimated 30 people dead and houses destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plateau state Commissioner of Information and Communication Dan Manjang told the AFP news agency the raids had erupted from clashes between the predominantly Muslim herders and farmers in the region who are majority Christian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A convoy of the United States embassy staff has come under fire in southeast Nigeria, during&nbsp; attack that killed two employees and two police officers.
