There has been an outrage on Nigeria’s social media space following the release of a video by the Boko Haram elements showing a soldier and a policeman being executed on the eve of Nigeria’s 2020 Democracy Day.
The execution was done a few days after the insurgents reportedly killed 81 persons at Foduma Kolomaiya village in Borno State. T
he graphic video showed the policeman and the soldier on their kneels identifying themselves and how they were captured by the insurgents.
The slain security personnel explained that they were on a trip from Maiduguri to Monguno when they were ambushed and abducted by the insurgents whom they described as “Tilafa army”.
“I am 13NA/70/8374 Lance Corporal Emmanuel Oscar, I was captured by Tilafa along Maiduguri to Monguno,” the soldier said.
On his part, the policeman, who spoke in Hausa language said “My name is Yohanah Kilus, I am a policeman, my rank is Inspector.
“I was abducted between Maiduguri and Monguno; I am presently in the custody of Tilafa soldiers,” he said before two gunmen shot him and the captured soldier at close range.
