The paraded militants were captured last week after a failed attempt by UK special forces to rescue a Briton and Italian from their kidnappers in Sokoto. The expatriates were kidnapped in Birnin kebbi and then moved to Sokoto by a splinter group of Boko Haram led by one Abu Mohammed
The kidnappers shot Francesco Molinara, an Italaian and Chris McManus, a British, at close range as Nigerian and UK special forces stormed their base in Sokoto in an effort to rescue the two. However, the Nigerian government arrested some of the kidanpper and paraded them today in preparation for thei trial.
