Three humanitarian workers and two security guards of the Family Health International (FHI360), has been abducted by the Islamic State of the West African Province (ISWAP) in Borno State.
FHI 360 is a US-based Non-profit Human Development and Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) dedicated to improving the health and well-being of people in the North East.
In a tweet via his Twitter handle on Wednesday, counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama, said ISWAP fighters in their numbers invaded the NGO guest house in the early hours of Wednesday and whisked them away to an unknown destination.
The Security Analyst in the Lake region disclosed that the victims included three staff and two security guards.
Makama, however, said the organisation has not released any statement since the news of the abduction broke out.
This development comes a year after the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said many aid workers have either died, been injured, or been kidnapped in the North East.
