Killing of Action Against Hunger workers: ISWAP blames Nigerian govt
The terrorist group ISWAP claimed that: ‘the execution was as a result of breakdown of talks with the government.’
According to Ahmed Salkida, a journalist known to have access to the leadership of Boko Haram, disclosed this in a series of tweets on Friday.
“ISWAP executes four more, releases video. All four are male humanitarian workers of Action Against Hunger abducted since July, 2019. The only female amongst them, Grace Taku, according to ISWAP, is condemned to life of slavery,” he tweeted.
“ISWAP claims the execution was as a result of breakdown of talks with the government.”
“The government is not sincere and do not respect timelines,” reports an ISWAP source.

“The armed group responsible for kidnapping six humanitarian workers in north-east Nigeria on 18 July, 2019 today claimed they have executed four hostages. This brings the number of fatalities to five,” the statement said.
“Action Against Hunger extends its deepest sympathies to their loved ones and our colleagues in Nigeria.
“Action Against Hunger condemns these latest killings in the strongest terms and deeply regrets that its calls for the release of the hostages have not been acted upon.
“Action Against Hunger is extremely concerned and calls for the immediate release of its staff member, Grace, who remains in captivity.
