Boko Haram executes 2 Red Cross staff, woman in Borno

Suspected members of Boko Haram terrorists have been sighted in a video, executing two Red Cross staff members in the Ngoshe community of Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno State.

Recent reports indicate a troubling pattern of violence in Gwoza, with farmers being killed and many others kidnapped in the community and nearby Kirawa town.

The terrorists have also been looting unripe crops from farmlands, exacerbating the hardships faced by local residents.

The leader of the terrorists group in the video who did not mention his name, said in Hausa language, “Many of our elders and children have been molested by security agencies, but Allah (God), in his infinite mercy to our struggles, has successfully led to the arrest of some staff working with Red Cross as well as some elderly women, including one of my sisters.

“This is in addition to the successful killing of many security agencies and infidels and our great enemies.

”With these saboteurs we have captured, one of the females is my sister but because these women appear to be old in age, we will allow them to go free, while we execute the remaining enemies to indicate that we are fully on ground and to show the world that God Almighty is on our side as true Muslims,” the leader of the group said in the video.

The video clip showed the gruesome killing of victims with an axe, as watchers or collaborators shouted Allahu Akbar, Vanguard reported.

Moreover, speaking on the recent video clip, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, lawmaker representing Borno South in the national assembly said, ”I just watched the video too, and am trying to verify its authenticity.

“Notwithstanding, this has confirmed all my cries to the federal government and the whole world in my interviews with, especially Vanguard and other media platforms, that the resilient people of Gwoza, especially farmers who have resettled back to their ancestral homes after decades of Boko Haram atrocities, are still undergoing various forms of renewed attacks”.

Police authorities in the state are yet to issue a statement in respect to the troubling development.
