‘I Don’t Want To Be Killed’ — Abducted Aid worker Begs FG

One of the workers of Action Against Hunger, a non-governmental organisation in Borno state, has spoken from captivity.

Insurgents had attacked a convoy of aid workers in Damasak, Borno state, last week, killing a driver before kidnapping six aid workers.

In a video obtained by TheCable, the victim simply identified as Grace, appealed to the federal government, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the international community to come to her rescue.

Citing the instances of Hawa Liman and some aid workers who were killed in captivity, Grace, who wore a blue hijab in the video, sought intervention.

The other captives were also seen in the video.

“My name is Grace. I work with Action Against Hunger, an NGO in Borno state. My base is Damasak. We went to work on Thursday, July 18, 2019, and on our way back to Damasak, we were caught by the army of Calipher,” she said.

“We don’t where we are. At this moment, we don’t know where we are. I am the only Christian among them. I am appealing to the Christian Association of Nigeria to please assist and do something about me.

“I am also appealing to the Action Against Hunger, they should do something to make sure that we are released.”
