Boko Haram has threatened to kill two of the aid workers it abducted in a raid on a girls’ boarding school in which it took 110 girls captive. It is believed that they are already murdered an aid worker. Also, the 15-year-old Christian girl who they are still holding captive because she has refused to disavow her faith in Christ is in danger.
From CNN:
Two International Red Cross Society (ICRC) aid workers kidnapped by a faction of Boko Haram in Nigeria’s northeast may be executed Tuesday, the organization told CNN.
The ICRC issued desperate pleas to the Nigerian government to negotiate the release of the workers, adding that, “speed and urgency are critical.”
Aleksandra Matijevic Mosimann, ICRC spokeswoman in Nigeria, told CNN they received an ultimatum from the militants on September 16 when the group also issued a threat against schoolgirl Leah Sharibu, whose parents confirmed to CNN she was “facing a death sentence.”
Mosimann said the ICRC does not negotiate with terrorists but Boko Haram had reached out to them through “credible sources,” about the deadline.
