In a video, the insurgents said: ‘We contacted the government through writing and also sent audio messages but the government have ignored us. So, here is a message of blood,’ said a spokesman of the group. ‘The other nurse and midwife will be executed in similar manner in one month, including Leah Sharibu,’ the spokesman added.
