Terrorists Kidnap Groom, Best Man In Borno


Terrorists have kidnapped two aid workers in Nigeria’s restive northeast Borno State as they were returning from a wedding, humanitarian and security sources said Saturday. The two were identified as an employee of UN World Food Programme, who had just attended his wedding, and a colleague from the International Committee of the Red Cross who was the best man at the ceremony.


They were seized by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) on Wednesday near Jakana village, the sources said. “ISWAP terrorists took the two aid workers hostage at a checkpoint they mounted near Jakana,” The hostages were returning to the regional capital Maiduguri from the wedding in neighbouring Adamawa State when they were stopped at a bogus checkpoint around 1230 GMT, the source said.

The WFP worker “had his wedding on November 28 and the Red Cross colleague was his best man,” said the UN source. A military source in Jakana confirmed the kidnap of “two humanitarian staff by ISWAP terrorists.”
