Three Nigerian security staff executed in Islamist video

KANO - Militants in north-east Nigeria have released a video showing the execution of two soldiers and a policeman, posted online late on Monday by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria propaganda agency Amaq.

Its release came days after the militants announced the kidnapping of 14 people including two aid workers and, according to the militants, six members of the security forces. "We tell the Nigerian army that we will never spare those fighting against the people who follow Allah's religion," one of the executioners said in Hausa, a language widely spoken in the north of the country.

One of the three victims introduced himself as a police sergeant, saying the militants had"captured" him when he was on his way to Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria's north-eastern Borno state.ISWAP claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, saying six members of the Nigerian security forces were among the hostages.
