Atiku reacts to the death of Hauwa Leman, slain Boko Haram captive

PDP Presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar has reacted to killing of International Committee Of Red Cross aid worker, Hauwa Leman who was killed by the dreaded Boko Haram sect yesterday.

Atiku took to his twitter page to share a photo of the girl with caption saying:

I’m deeply saddened by the murder of Hauwa Leman, an ICRC aid worker, by terrorists. I implore the Federal Government to deploy every reasonable tool at its disposal to bring Leah Shuaibu and all the children in Boko Haram captivity home.



The Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a faction of Boko Haram, executed Hauwa Leman, an aid worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and this was confirmed in a short clip seen by a special correspondent of TheCable

The executed aid worker, was forced to kneel down, with her hands tied inside a white hijab which has a crest symbol, and then shot at a close range. Leman, a 24-year-old nurse was a student of health education at the University of Maiduguri and she was abducted in the attack, that left four soldiers, four policemen and three humanitarian aid workers dead.

Leman’s execution is coming after Toafic Toure, ICRC operational communication delegate, Maiduguri sub-delegation, pleaded with the federal government on Sunday to avert Leman’s killing as the Monday deadline given by the insurgents approached.
