Amnesty International has condemned the murder of four aid workers by elements of the Islamic State in West African Province.
The insurgents reportedly killed the hostages following a breakdown in negotiations for their release.
Reacting to the tragic development, Director, Amnesty International Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, in a statement on Saturday, accused the terrorists of war crimes, noting that they would be brought to justice for their action.
She said, “With yet another horrific killing of humanitarian workers, ISWAP has again demonstrated its brazen disregard for life.

“The four slain aid workers were providing desperately-needed humanitarian services to people affected by the conflict in the northeast of Nigeria.

“The killing is a war crime. Under international humanitarian law, all aid workers must be protected from attack. ISWAP must immediately and unconditionally release the remaining aid workers.”

Ojigho admonished the authorities to double their efforts to rescue the hundreds of civilians still detained by ISWAP.

“All those responsible for war crimes and other human rights violations and abuses in Nigeria must be brought to justice,” she stated.
