A breakaway faction of Boko Haram has released a video showing the execution of a soldier and a police officer who were abducted last week while travelling between Maiduguri and Monguno in Borno State.
Premium Times reports that in the 49 seconds video, the two abducted security personnel introduced themselves before they were shot dead simultaneously.
