Boko Haram Kills Four Aid Workers Abducted 5 Months Ago, Says FG Not Sincere

Ahmed Salkida, a journalist with access to Boko Haram activities, revealed that four aid workers has been killed by Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP), a breakaway faction of the terrorist group.

The four aid workers are officials of the ‘Action Against Hunger’ who were kidnapped in July, 2019, Ahmed Salkida said in a tweet on Friday, December 13th.

According to him, a fifth aid worker among the kidnapped, Grace Taku, who was the only female, has not been killed but condemned to “life of slavery”.

The journalist quotes the terror group as saying the execution was as a result of ‘insincerity’ of the government.

ISWAP claims the execution was as a result of breakdown of talks with the government. "The government is not sincere and do not respect timelines," reports an ISWAP source. Taku's fate is now the same with other Christian female captives with the terror group. pic.twitter.com/UOzvgbTKx5
