Action Against Hunger (AAH), an
international non-governmental organisation, has condemned the killing of one
of its abducted staff.
One of the six abducted aid
workers, who were kidnapped by the insurgents in Borno state, was killed by the
Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP).
The insurgents reportedly killed
the aid worker, a male, because “the government deceived them”.
Confirming the incident in a
statement, AAH condemned the killing and expressed concern for the well-being
of the hostages, calling for their release.
“The armed group holding captive
an Action Against Hunger employee, two drivers, and three health ministry
personnel have executed a hostage,” the statement said.
“Action Against Hunger condemns
in the strongest terms this assassination and urgently calls for the release of
the hostages, with a reminder that they were present in the northeast of the
country only to help the most vulnerable.
“Action Against Hunger is
extremely concerned and is fully mobilized to ensure that the remaining
hostages can be quickly and safely reunited with their families.
The organisation also requested
that the public “respect the dignity of the victim and the privacy of the
families by not sharing images or videos that may circulate on the Internet”.
