One of the six workers of Action Against Hunger, an international humanitarian organisation, who was abducted by Boko Haram two months ago, has been killed.

The insurgents uploaded a video online showing how the humanitarian worker was beheaded.

Nigerian journalist Ahmad Salkida, via his verified Twitter handle, said the aid worker, a male was executed at a close range.

Salkida said that he saw the video of the execution.

Salkida added that ISWAP said it took the action because โ€˜the government deceived themโ€™ following months of what is now known as secret negotiations between a team of intermediaries and unnamed officials.

โ€œ#ISWAP has executed one of the six aid workers, working with the Action Against Hunger that was abducted two months ago in Borno,โ€ Mr Salkidaโ€™s tweet reads.

โ€œOne of the male aid workers was executed at close range in a short video clip seen by this reporter.

The group said it took the action because โ€œthe government deceived themโ€ following months of what is now known as secret negotiations between a team of intermediaries and unnamed officials.

โ€œISWAP has also threatened to execute the other remaining staff of the International Non Governmental organization (ACF/AAH).
