Boko Haram: Red Cross Pleads With Nigerian Government As Another Female Nurse As Less Than 24 Hours To Live

    The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has raised an alarm over the 24 hours deadline given by Boko Haram to eliminate another female staff held captive by the insurgents.

    Mr Mamadou Sow,  Head of ICRC’s Operations in the Lake Chad Basin, in a statement on Sunday made an appeal to the Nigerian Government, communities and individuals towards the release of two medical workers.

    Sow named the affected medical workers as; Hauwa Mohammed and Alice Loksha.
    According to Sow, speed and urgency are critical. A deadline that could result in the killing of another health care worker is less than 24 hours away.

    “To the holder of these kidnapped women, we urge you for mercy. We urge you not to kill another innocent health care worker, who was doing nothing but helping the community in north-east Nigeria.’’

    Sow noted that Hauwa worked in a hospital supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), when she was abducted March 1, 2018 with Alice, a nurse who worked in a centre supported by UNICEF.
