ICC Note:
Boko Haram, a radical Islamic insurgency that has now declared several towns in northern Nigeria part of the Islamic caliphate, beheaded a 6-year-old boy for professing the Christian faith, according to Sawaltha Wandala. After witnessing the brutal decapitation, Wandala was viciously beaten by the militants. For years, Boko Haram has targeted Christian minorities in the majority-Muslim north. Recent reports indicate that several Christian men have been beheaded following the declaration of the caliphate on August 24.
