Reacting to the tragic incident via twitter, the Acting High Commissioner in Nigeria, Gill Atkinson said , “Terrible to read the news of the execution of Pastor Rev Lawan Andimi by Boko Haram.

“I utterly condemn such an awful crime and offer my deepest sympathy to his family and congregation,”

Andimi was abducted by Boko Haram when they attacked Michika on January.

Rev. Andimi some few weeks back appeared in a video released by Boko Haram, wherein he pleaded with the authorities to secure his release.
