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

ISWAP has executed four humanitarian workers of Action Against Hunger abducted since July, 2019.

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.

KanyiDaily had reported that ISWAP militants on July 19 killed a driver and abducted six others, working for an international aid organisation, Action Against Hunger, in a convoy to Damasak in Borno State.

The victims led by Grace Taku, later appeared in a video six days later, begging the Nigerian government and international community to ensure their release.

One of them was killed in September by the terror group before today’s murder of four others.
