Boko Haram massacres ‘infidel’ civilians

December 23, 2014

Members of the militant Islamist movement Boko Haram have released a video showing civilians being massacred in Bama, a city of 270,000 in Borno State, Nigeria.

“We have made sure the floor of this hall is turned red with blood, and this is how it is going to be in all future attacks and arrests of infidels,” the video message stated, according to The Washington Post. “From now, killing, slaughtering, destructions and bombing will be our religious duty anywhere we invade.”

    I spent many days in Maiduguri, Borno State, with my job as Financial Controller for a water pump manufacturing "joint venture"! At the time the Nigeria military governor the country and provided the governors for every state in Nigeria. While there was crime, such as armed robbery, the justice was violent and swift, under the military. Armed robbery was punishable with death by firing squad. The convicted was taken to their home village and executed in front of their family and friends.
