On Wednesday, July 22, members of the Islamic State’s West Africa Province ISWAP otherwise known as Boko Haram released a horrific video showing the brutal murder of five aid workers abducted in Borno state by its members.
Abdur-Rahman Bulama, pictured above, is one of the aid workers recently executed by members of the dreaded Islamic sect.
Bulama Bukarti, a Kano-based lawyer, shared Abdur-Rahman’s photo online, said he was abducted three days to his wedding.
Taking to social media platform, Twitter, Bukarti wrote;
Abdur-Rahman Bulama was one of the aid workers abducted by ISWAP and executed yesterday. He was abducted just three days to his wedding. The people being killed everyday in Nigeria aren’t just numbers. Each was a human being with dreams and valued their life like you and I do.

Meanwhile, the United Nations said it was utterly shocked and horrified by the gruesome killing of the five aid workers by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno state.
UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, Mr Edward Kallon expressed the reaction of the global body in a statement Wednesday night.
He condemned the killing of the aid workers, who were committed humanitarians who devoted their lives to helping vulnerable people and communities in an area heavily affected by violence.
