Action Against Hunger (AAH) has condemned the killing of one of six of its staff held hostage by Boko Haram.
Boko Haram, an armed group holding captive an Action Against Hunger employee, two drivers, and three health ministry personnel for over two months in a video on Wednesday on the internet showed it had executed a hostage.
The statement read: “Action Against Hunger condemns in the strongest terms this assassination and urgently calls for the release of the hostages, with a reminder that they were present in the northeast of the country only to help the most vulnerable.
“Action Against Hunger is extremely concerned and is fully mobilized to ensure that the remaining hostages can be quickly and safely reunited with their families.
“Action Against Hunger also requests that the public and journalists respect the dignity of the victim and the privacy of the families by not sharing images or videos that may circulate on the Internet.”
