A graphic video of Boko Haram amputating two men accused of stealing has surfaced on the internet. The footage, posted on Liveleak.com shows members of the terrorist group cutting off the hands of the men whom they alleged to have stolen 600,000 Naira (US$3,000-$3,500) and only returned 20,000 Naira from the stolen money.
According to reports, a search was conducted on the men’s house where an extra 500,000 Naira was recovered. As punishment for stealing and lying, the militants amputated their hands and said it was their punishment from Allah.
The video is very graphic as the men’s hands were not hacked off at once. They were slowly cut off and means the victims must have endured a lot of pain while being amputated.
