Boko Haram: How Nigerians reacted to death of aid worker, Hauwa Leman

Nigerians on social media have expressed sadness over the death of Hauwa Leman, an aide worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a faction of Boko Haram, executed Hauwa Leman, an aide worker with the ICRC on Monday.

The terrorists, however, promised to keep Leah Sharibu, one of the Dapchi schoolgirls who is still being held captive in their custody.

Here are some comments gathered on Twitter:
