Islamic State (ISIS) militants have callously executed 20 Christians at an undisclosed location in Borno State to “avenge the killing of the group’s leaders in the Middle East”.
The terrorist group published footage of the cold-blooded killings, showing the masked knife and gun-wielding fanatics standing behind their kneeling victims.
The militants carried out the merciless executions amidst wanton abductions, looting and killings by rival Islamist groups, Boko Haram and Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP), in the state and much of the Northeast.
Footage of the latest massacre shows one of the executioners saying in the Hausa language that the killings are a response to ISIS deaths in the Middle East earlier this year.
It was published on a terrorist-linked outlet and shows three groups of captives wearing civilian clothes.
UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, visited the state last week to meet with survivors of Islamist violence.
Guterres also met with former militants being reintegrated back into the society and thousands of people displaced by the insurgency in Maiduguri, the state capital, during the visit.
