Boko Haram executes Hauwa Liman

A faction of Boko Haram known as the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) executed Hauwa Leman, an aide worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) after holding her as captive for over seven months.

The ICRC staff was kidnapped in March 2018,alongside others at the Rann camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Borno by the terrorists.

The group had earlier warned that they would execute Leman if they don’t hear from the Federal Government.
