No fewer than five aide workers abducted in Borno state have been executed by suspected Boko Haram insurgents.
The humanitarian workers were traveling from Maiduguri to Monguno, a town in the northern part of Borno, when they were ambushed by Boko Haram on June 29, 2020
In a 34 seconds video, one of the insurgents who spoke in Hausa, said the humanitarian workers were executed for “working with the infidels”
“Those of you that are being used by infidels to turn others to infidels, know this today oh, you who work for infidel groups, you satisfy their aims but they do not care about you and that is why when we catch you they do not show concern. Our call to you is to repent and follow Allah; we shall waylay you in all the roads that you follow and if you don’t listen, the fate of these ones will befall you,” the voice said.
After speaking, five of the insurgents opened fire on the captives from a close range after another voice said “bisimillah.”
The slain aide workers were raided at Monguno Local Government of Borno State on June 13, 2020, They include staff of the Borno State Emergency Management Agency, Action Against Hunger, Rich International, International Rescue Committee and a security guard.
The execution came after the insurgents demanded the sum of 500,000 dollars to release them.
