"We demand a thorough investigation and the perpetrators are held accountable," he added.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has reportedly been angry with the killings
Separately, the Sudanese government expressed its condolences for the death and condemned any attacks on aid workers or the United Nations.
The Sudanese government will investigate the incident, but says soldiers are not carrying out any activities in the region.
