Boko Haram has released a video showing it killing five humanitarian workers it recently abducted.
The victims abducted in the Monguno area of Borno Statewere variously staff of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Action Against Hunger, Rich International, International Rescue Committee and a private security guard.
In a note attached to the video, the insurgents describe those the five victims were working for as infidels who did not even care for them, apparently referring to the failure to pay the ransom even after the abductees called for intervention.
“We are sending this as a very strong message to you unbelievers and infidels. And to those of you that are being used by these infidels to repent.
“You are working for them but they do not have any concern about you.
“You worked for them to achieve their goals but they are very far from your plight. They do not show you any care. Look at you now. When we kidnap you they don’t care. They show no concern.
“We are calling on all you unbelievers to repent and turn to Allah.
“We will continue to abduct you people at every road that we see you if you don’t repent to work for them. It is a warning to all of you.”
