BOKO HARAM: Senate Watches Video Of Sect’s Massacre
The sect’s leader, Shekau, who recently released a video, admitted that the sect carried out the Bama attack, but kept mum on Abu Saad’s death. He, however, claimed the sect killed several soldiers and was winning the war against Nigerian troops.
Meanwhile,
a video on how Boko Haram slaughters its victims was shown to a group
of senators during a security briefing by JTF in Maiduguri, Borno State
capital.
In the video, captured traders were pinned to the ground with their hands tied behind their back, while a sect member bent over to run a sharp knife through one of their victims’ neck. A stream of blood from the victim, and shouts of Allahu Akbar (God is Great) by the slaughterers followed.
Some of the traders, who were forced to watch the gruesome slaughter of their colleague, simply dug their faces into the ground in submission. One after the other, the same hideous fate befell each. Not done, the sect members hung each of the severed heads on its torso.
Also, the senators saw the killing of three uniformed policemen, with their green berets intact. Before the cops were slaughtered, they were made to stand in front of a banner with Arabic inscriptions, while a hooded terrorist, with an AK-47 rifle, read portions of Quran before pronouncing death sentences on them.
Before their execution, two of the policemen slumped.
Although the delegation was forewarned by Borno State Deputy Governor, Zannah Umar Mustapha, who attended the briefing, about the savagery they were about to see, some of the senators reportedly could not watch the full length of the video.
They buried their faces in their palms, while others asked the intelligence officer to fast-forward the videos. A retired general, who fought in the Nigerian Civil War, and a member of the delegation, was said to have told his colleagues that not even in the war did he witness such cruelty.
