Ahmed Salkida<\/strong>, a journalist known to have access to the leadership of Boko Haram, says one out of the six abducted aid workers of Action Against Hunger (AAH), an international non-governmental organisation (NGO), has been killed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Salkida disclosed this through his Twitter handle on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n

The six aid workers, five male and a female, were kidnapped by members of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) after their convoy was attacked in Damasak, Borno state.<\/p>\n\n\n

In a video obtained by TheCable after the abduction, one of the victims identified as Grace pleaded with the federal government<\/a><\/strong>, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the international community to come to their rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n

The journalist said the deceased, a male, was shot at a close range in a video seen by him.<\/p>\n\n\n

According to him, the insurgents alleged that they took the action because \u201cthe government deceived them\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cJust In: #ISWAP has executed one of the six aid workers, working with the Action Against Hunger that was abducted two months ago in Borno,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the male aid workers was executed at close range in a short video clip seen by this reporter.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThe group, in a horrific video of the execution, said it took the action because \u2018the government deceived them\u2019 following months of what is now known as secret negotiations between a team of intermediaries and unnamed officials.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cISWAP has also threatened to execute the other remaining staff of the International Non-Governmental Organisation (ACF\/AAH). Recall, the INGO was declared persona non grata last week by the @HQNigerian Army for aiding terrorism in the region, an allegation the INGO denied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
