Fighters of the Islamic State in West African Province (ISWAP), have released a video showing the killing of 11 Christians abducted from Borno State some weeks back.

The terrorist group claimed they spared the lives of two persons out of 13 people who were captured.

The 56-second video was released on December 26 and produced by the ISIS “news agency” Amaq.

According to the ISWAP, the 11 victims are Christians, however, a careful assessment of the video released on December 17, indicated that three Muslims and 10 Christians were captured.
