 A video purporting to show the executions of two alleged spies was on Monday released by the Boko Haram Islamic sect.
One of the men was made to make a full confession, explaining his ‘crimes’ to the camera, before the pair were beheaded and their bodies shown to the camera.
The gruesome execution video echoes those posted by Islamic State and is the second released by Boko Haram.
The video, called ‘Harvest of Spies’, was posted on Monday on Twitter by Boko Haram, Mail Online quoted the SITE intelligence group as saying on Monday.
It started by showing a man kneeling in the foreground with a group of Boko Haram fighters approaching him holding a flag used by militant Islamist group.
In a theatrical display previously seen in the execution videos released by ISIS, the men lined up behind the victim.
The video then cuts to show two men, identified as Dawoud Muhammad and Muhammad Awlu, led by Boko Haram fighters before being made to kneel.
One Boko Haram fighter, whose face was blurred by the militant group, stood behind Dawoud Muhammad, holding a large knife.
Muhammad told the camera that he was a farmer from Baga, Borno State and wasthen made to answer a series of questions at knifepoint.
Muhammad revealed that hat he had been approached by a police officer who offered him money in exchange for infiltrating Boko Haram.
“We went to see a man from Mijka and a police officer that was with him. The officer gave me N5,000,” Muhammad said.
Muhammad was also made to confess that their mission had been to spy on the “residents who live here” (Boko Haram), and in exchange for spying, the police officer had promised him that he would “become rich and will never go back to be a farmer again.”
The camera panned from left to right in slow motion, showing Muhammad and Awlu on their knees as they were executed by Boko Haram fighters.
The video faded before the actual beheadings took place, and then showed the two men’s bodies with their heads placed upon their chests.
The video does not reveal how the spies were caught by the militants and MailOnline has yet to confirm its authenticity.
Boko Haram previously published only one beheading, of a Nigerian fighter pilot whose plane went missing in September.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
