Nigeria: Over 6000 Islamists Dispatched To Kill As Many Christians As Possible In Southern Nigeria

John 16:2b, “… the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.”

Matthew 10:22, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.”

By Stoyan Zaimov, The Christian Post – “The Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram is allegedly planning to declare holy war on Southern Nigeria, where most Christians are concentrated, and might use food poisoning tactics to kill as many as possible, according to the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

‘We have information and documents to show that this is a Jihad being sponsored and we have our documents to show where they have dispatched 2,000 people to prepare for Jihad to South East, 2,500 to South-South and about 2,000 to South West,’ said Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, CAN Chairman and Anglican Bishop of Enugu Diocese.

The organization also warned that Boko Haram, responsible for killing hundreds of Christians since 2011 with church bombings and shootings, is planning to lace meat in these southern areas with poisonous powder. CAN specifically warned residents to be careful about eating suya, which is a shish kebab-type food that can be made with various types of meats.

According to a report from Vangard, Bishop Chukwuma said: ‘We are warning our people to be careful of suya because we have now heard that they will start poisoning people through suya. They know the suya they give themselves in the North and suya they give to the people in the South. So people should be careful of suya.

‘That is part of the information available to us now. There is a powder that is now being imported which they will spread on suya and after two weeks it will start eating your liver and other organs. We have gotten that information also.’

Boko Haram directly admitted in a recent statement to wanting to wipe out Christians from Nigeria and establish Islamist rule.” Read more.

    You would hope the American and other gov’ts would take notice of this threat and attempt to do something to prevent it. They sure seem to want to get involved everywhere else.

    Well, America is now officially calling three Boko Haram leaders “foreign terrorists” (not “Islamic terrorists”, I guess they don’t want to offend the rest of Boko Haram). At this point, it’s words only. When they actually begin doing something about Boko Haram, that will speak much louder.

    U.S. adds Boko Haram members to ‘terrorist’ list – “(Reuters) – The United States on Thursday named three alleged leaders of the Nigerian militant group Boko Haram as ‘foreign terrorists,’ the first time it has blacklisted members of the Islamist group blamed for attacks across Africa’s most populous nation.

    The State Department identified the three as Abubakar Shekau, calling him the ‘most visible’ leader of the group, and Abubakar Adam Kambar and Khalid al-Barnawi, who it said were tied both to Boko Haram and to al Qaeda’s north African wing.

    ‘These designations demonstrate the United States’ resolve in diminishing the capacity of Boko Haram to execute violent attacks,’ it said, saying that Boko Haram or associated militants were responsible for more than 1,000 deaths in the past 18 months.

    The action by the State and Treasury Departments, first reported by Reuters on Wednesday, followed growing pressure on the Obama administration to take stronger action against Boko Haram, which has stepped up attacks on Christian places of worship this year in its drive to establish an Islamic caliphate in northern Nigeria.

    U.S. officials say the decision to list individual Boko Haram members, rather than apply the more sweeping ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’ label to the group as a whole as some U.S. lawmakers have demanded, reflected a desire not to elevate the group’s profile.

    ‘We took this measure to designate these three because they are clearly kingpins of Boko Haram and clearly all of them have advocated terrorism as a weapon,’ State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told a news briefing.

    ‘We’re continuing to look at the question of a broader designation.’

    MOVE CALLED ‘INSUFFICIENT’

    Two Republican lawmakers who led the campaign for a broader designation said the move against the three was insufficient, saying the intelligence community needed every available tool to combat Boko Haram

    ‘Given Boko Haram’s trajectory and intent to carry out terrorist attacks against Western targets, including possibly the Homeland, we must take the growing threat seriously,’ Representatives Peter King and Patrick Meehan said in a statement.

    The action freezes any assets the three men have in the United States, and bars U.S. persons from any transactions with them.

    The United States has signaled growing concern over Islamist extremist groups operating in Africa, particularly al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, which has expanded its influence in the lawless Sahel region and funds operations by collecting kidnap ransoms or siphoning off the drug trade.” Read more.

    Speaking as a citizen, I would encourage governmental authorities responsible for the safety and well being of people under their charge to request some drone flyovers in northern Nigeria, until those people don’t have to fear going to church or eating a kebob.
