A civil society organisation has expressed shock at the murder Hauwa Liman, an aid worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), by members of the Boko Haram sect.

Global Amnesty Watch (GAW) described Liman's killing as barbaric and unacceptable.

Speaking on the recent atrocity committed by the terrorist group, Tom Lever, in-charge, Africa regional office of the human rights group, described Leman's said such an act must be met with the harshest retribution possible to serve as a deterrence to Boko Haram and any other terror group in the world that the sacredness of human life is not to be toyed with.

Lever said: "Killing another aid worker whose only crime is dedicating her life to make life better for others confirms that Boko Haram has sunken to its lowest level of weakness yet."

"The gruesome killing of the aid worker has confirmed that Boko Haram is a group driven by mindless wickedness and one that must be collectively dealt with by the entire world.

"We urge the Nigerian authorities to continue to tighten the noose around the terrorists until the last of those being held captive by Boko Haram is released as the desperate action on the part of the terrorists must not be allowed to slow down the operations meant to restore normalcy to the region.

"In view of the current atmosphere in Nigeria, the Global Amnesty Watch appeals to every stakeholder in the country not to exploit the grief of Hauwa’s family as this will be most unkind to them at a trying time like this.

Boko Haram must also not be encouraged to see itself as being capable of unsettling the Nigerian state through evil acts like this as it will only motivate its fighters to abduct more helpless people.

We share in the grief of Hauwa Liman’s family as we wish them to find the strength to bear the loss inflicted on them by these sick terrorists," Lever noted.
