In the video, Andimi claimed his abductors were treating him well as they provided blankets to protect him from the freezing temperature in the northern region

However, one could not ascertain if the cleric was coerced to make the speech or if it was the actual truth.

It would be recalled that ISWAP terrorists who partnered with Boko Haram insurgents beheaded 10 christians on Christmas day to avenge the death of former ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who was killed in Syria during a gun battle.
