It would be recalled that Hauwa and two other aid workers with International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) were abducted by the terrorists about six months ago during an attack on the military base in Rann, Borno State, and have since then been in their captivity.
Earlier, one of the aid workers kidnapped named Saifura Hussaini Ahmed was killed by the terrorists on the grounds that the Federal Government (FG) failed to meet up some of their demands, the same fate befell Hauwa.
In a statement issued to the press on Tuesday and signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim Biu noted that the action of the terrorists to say the least was callous, barbaric and inhuman and totally against the tenets of Islam.

‘The killing is clear desecration of Islam which preaches sacred inviolability of the individual.
To this end, the statement maintained that it is saddened that inspite of the Federal Government’s assurances that it is working with some friendly countries and other international organisations to save the lives of the innocent aid workers, it has not yielded the desired result.
“ACF, therefore, urged the FG to review its negotiation strategy and ensure that the other aid worker, Leah Sharibu and the Chibok girls still in the captivity of the Boko Haram are rescued and released to their families.
The FG should not wait for deadline from the terrorists before taking necessary actions to rescue them, noting, ‘ Any actions by the FG and the allies on this issue should be quick in order to assuage the fears of Nigerians of what may happen to those still in captivity.
ACF also extended its condolences to the families of Hauwa and Saifura who were brutally executed by the terrorists for serving humanity and equally commiserates with the families of those still captivity.
