Boko Haram has released a new video
showing the beheading of two men
it accused of acting as spies for
security agencies.
The men, identified as Dawoud
Muhammad and Muhammad Awlu,
said they were from Baga, a border
town in Borno.
The sect took over Baga but the
military has recovered the town, which
President Goodluck Jonathan visited
on Thursday .
The six-minute footage called
'Harvest of Spies', showed masked
militants with long knives standing
behind Muhammad and another man
who knelt on the ground.
It was posted on Twitter by the SITE
intelligence group. Muhammad confessed that he was a farmer from Baga and that a police officer paid him N5, 000 to spy on the sect in.
"We went to see a man from Mijka
and a police officer that was with him.
The officer gave me N5,000 in
exchange of spying those who live
there," he said.
With its use of elaborate opening titles
and sound effects like heavy breathing
before the beheading, the video is
different from previous ones released
by Boko Haram.
Boko Haram previously published only
one beheading and it was that of a
pilot whose plane went missing in
September.
Since 2009 when it unleashed its
violent campaign, Boko Haram has
wreaked untold havoc, particularly in
northeastern communities across
Nigeria.
