Emmanuel Peter, a humanitarian aid worker, who was abducted in the north-east region, has reportedly been killed.
The insurgents abducted him at Jakana along Damaturu-Maiduguri road in Yobe state, on Wednesday, and two days later, Peter’s death was announced on his Facebook page.
At 12:25am on Friday, Peter’s Facebook profile picture changed to an image with a black background. His cover photo also changed.

Some minutes later, an obituary was shared on his timeline.
It’s unclear if the post was shared by Peter or one of his abductors.

The insurgents were said to have killed him after finding
out that he worked with a humanitarian agency, though he reportedly denied his
link with the agency.
His captors reportedly browsed through his iPad where they found adequate information on him.

Two weeks before his reported death, Peter wedded his wife
at Eyn state low-cost in Jimeta, Yola, capital of Adamawa state.

A flurry of congratulatory messages followed the wedding
ceremony on November 28.
On Facebook, one Hannatu Ali Buba Thilza, wrote: “Let’s me
drop it here, congratulations baby. am
happy for you.”

If truly he has been killed, then Peter literally walked out
when his journey was supposed to begin.
The north-east region has been plagued with insecurity
crisis, with several individuals abducted and killed while government has
repeatedly said it is on top of the situation.
