Boko Haram kills CAN official abducted in Adamawa

Boko Haram insurgents have reportedly killed the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), in Michika Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Lawan Andimi.

Andimi was abducted early January when the insurgents attacked his village.

A source, who confirmed the incident, said Andimi was killed by his captors, on Monday.

Days after his abduction, the clergyman, in a video clip, had asked Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, to rescue him.

“I have never been discouraged because all conditions that one finds himself …is in the hand of God.

“God, who made them to take care of me. So, the summary of my speech; I am appealing to my colleagues, reverends, particularly my president, Rev. Joel Billy, who is a strong man, a man of compassion and man of love.

“He can do all his best to speak to our governor, Umaru Jibrilla (Fintiri) and other necessary agents for my release here,” he had said.

On Christmas Eve, a faction of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, affiliated to the Islamic State, killed 11 Christian captives in Borno, and said the action was taken to avenge the deaths of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the late IS leader, and Abul-Hasan Al-Muhajir, its spokesman, who were killed in Syria in October.

Four abducted aid workers of the Action Against Hunger, an international non-government organisation, were also killed by the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) in December.

The insurgents said the aid workers were killed because of the breakdown of talks with the Federal Government.

Of course, it was not clear why the clergyman was killed as his captors are a yet to take responsibility.
