The al Barnawi faction of the Boko Haram terrorist group executed the second of three female humanitarian workers in the Autumn, stating that the remaining health-care worker and a schoolgirl will be slaves for the rest of their lives.
Midwife Hauwa Mohammed Liman, 25, who was working for the International Committee of the Red Cross, was seized on 1 March, along with fellow worker and midwife Saifura Husseini Ahmed, 25, and nurse Alice Loksha Ngaddah, a UNICEF employee.
In the video depicting her execution that was sent to a Nigerian newspaper, Ms Liman’s hands were tied and she was dressed in a white hijab with a crescent symbol on it. Ms Liman was forced to kneel before being shot at close range. In a statement explaining the execution, the terrorists said both she and Ms Ahmed were considered apostate as they were deemed to have abandoned their faith by working for the Red Cross saying ‘for us there is no difference between the Red Cross and UNICEF. If we see them, we kill the apostate among them, men or women, and choose to kill or keep the infidels as slaves, men or women.’
