US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, in a statement said the motive for the attack is not known and there are no indications that it was targeted against the US Mission.
On Tuesday, unidentified assailants attacked a convoy of two U.S. government vehicles in the Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra.
The convoy was carrying nine Nigerian nationals: five employees of the U.S. Mission to Nigeria and four members of the Nigeria Police Force.
They were traveling in advance of a planned visit by U.S. Mission personnel to a U.S.-funded flood response project in the state.
