A disturbing video making the rounds online shows four kidnapped women being subjected to h0rrific abuse by suspected terrorists.
In the footage, one of the armed men is seen using the muzzle of an AK-47 rifle to repeatedly strike the women on the forehead after ordering them to remove their hijabs.
The women, visibly traumatised and in severe pain, endure the assault in silence as the blows continue.
As one of the victims could no longer bear the pain and burst into tears, a voice is heard in the background of the video, speaking in Hausa language, saying, “Leave it, it is okay.”
However, the brief remark did not halt the assault.
Blood could be seen dripping from the women’s foreheads as they cried uncontrollably.
In the same video, the women collectively pleaded with the general public for help, begging for their lives.
“Please help us, we want to survive by leaving here. We are begging you in the name of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Please help us,” one of the women cried out, her voice shaking.
“Please help us get out of this place. For God’s sake, please help us. If you really want us out alive, please look at the situation we are in.”
Even as the women continued to plead, the terrorist behind the camera kept hitting them with the rifle, ignoring their cries and worsening their injuries.
The victims could be heard sobbing loudly, overwhelmed by pain and fear.
“Please help us, for God’s sake,” one of them said, crying. “If you really want us to be alive, please help us.”
As of the time of filing this report, it remains unclear where the women were abducted from or which terrorist group is responsible for the attack. Security agencies have yet to issue an official statement on the footage.
