When Is Mum Coming Home - Murdered Boko Haram Hostage Kid Ask by EmagNig(m): 4:22am On Sep 18, 2018
Murdered Boko Haram hostage, Saifura Hussaini Ahmed Khorsa, the worker of the International Committtee of the Red Cross, was a nurse as well as the mother of two adorable kids.

The Red Cross bemoaning her killing by the blood thirsty Boko Haram on Monday wondered how the kids, now with their grandma would take news of her death, NAN reports.


“Saifura, 25, was a devoted mother and midwife. Those who knew her said she adored her two children, a two-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl”, said Eleojo Akpa, the ICRC Communications and Media Relations Officer.

“The children have not been able to comprehend their mother’s absence, as they frequently asked their grandmother if a passing plane was bringing their mother home.

“That grandmother must now find the words to tell the two children their mother will never return”, he said.

The killing of the 25 year-old woman was condemned by Red Cross (ICRC), which also appealed to the Boko Haram to immediately release a second ICRC midwife and a healthcare worker who were also abducted in March at Rann, Borno state.

Eloi Fillion, the Head, ICRC delegation in Abuja said:

“We are devastated by the murder of our colleague, Saifura.

“Saifura moved to Rann to selflessly help those in need. Our thoughts are with her family and other loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

“At the time of their abduction, Saifura, as well as our colleague, Hauwa Mohammed Liman, and Alice Loksha, a nurse with UNICEF-supported centre, were providing essential ante-natal care to communities in Rann.

“Rann’s population has more than doubled after an influx of people fleeing violence,’’ he said.

Fillion urged the abductors still holding Hauwa and Alice to release them as they were not part of the fight.

“However, ICRC would not comment on the identity of the women’s abductors, their motives or the details surrounding Saifura’s death,’’ Fillion said.

He noted that since the women’s abduction six months ago, ICRC had made sustained and committed efforts to securing the release of the three health care workers.

Fillion added that the organisation would continue to make efforts in ensuring that Hauwa and Alice were released and returned to their families immediately.

Saddening, very sorry kids, this is what the northern elites did to you kids and there are thousands of kids who are in the same situation, bringing up these kids in a hostile environment without their parents to guard them will be another time bomb waiting to explode, till we stop having religion extremists and having a responsible Govt, nothing will change in Nigeria.
