Tens of thousands of Christians are fleeing
northeastern Nigeria, following killings and the
burning and destruction of several churches by the
Boko Haram Muslim sect. According to Fr . Patrick
Tor Alumuku, Social Communications officer in the
Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja, “I spoke to priests in
Maiduguri (Ed. note: the capital of BornoState in
northeastern Nigeria where Boko Haram is most
active) who speak of terrifying happenings.”
According to the priest, “Boko Haram is determined
to eliminate every sign of Christian presence and
many churches have been destroyed or torched.
Last week in a village in the area of Maiduguri, Boko
Haram took over the parish for its local
headquarters.”
Catholic Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme of Maiduguri,
“in areas where Boko Haram is active Christians
are fleeing by the thousands. ” He reported that at
least 90,000 Catholics are now displaced by the
Islamist rebels who are challenging the sovereignty
of the Nigerian government.
According to the Fides news service, Father Patrick
said, “However, among the crowds of Christians in
flight there are also Muslims.” He added, “Some are
chiefs of villages and towns, others are Muslim
religious leaders (emirs) who cannot identify with
what is being committed by Boko Haram.”
“Unfortunately a good number of these displaced
persons cannot escape from the combat areas and
getting humanitarian aid to them is very difficult.
Only people outside these areas can reached by
assistance” the Father Patrick continued. “If a city
likeMaiduguri with a population of more than one
million were to be attacked by the BokoHaram
offensive, the result would be an extremely serious
humanitarian disaster.”
When contacted by Spero News, Nigerian-American
attorney and human rights activist Emmanuel Ogebe
spoke of the horrors being faced by Nigerian
Christians at the hands of Boko Haram, which has
been linked to the Al-Qaeda terrorist group. Said
Ogebe, “Our local partners say a couple more
towns fell to the terrorists over the weekend,
including a predominantly Christian safe haven
where we normally stay during trips to the violent
northeast.”
Ogebe is special counsel to the Justice for Jos
Project and the Jubilee Campaign, both of which
have spoken forcefully about the predations made
by Muslim Nigerians against Christians. In June
2014, Ogebe testified before Congress about the
inroads Boko Haram has made in Nigerian
territories where Muslims and Christians had
previously lived in relative peace.
Speaking to the Subcommittee on Africa, Global
Health, Global Human Rights, and International
Organizations of the House of Representatives,
Ogebe said in June 2014 “It took the US twenty-five
months after the first two Americans were attacked
and one year after the third and fourth Americans
were targeted before Boko Haram was designated a
Foreign Terrorist Organization.” He went on to note
that the United Kingdom and the European Union
were similarly tardy in recognizing the threat posed
by Boko Haram when the group was finally
designated a terrorist organization. Ogebe criticized
the Nigerian government for its lack of
responsiveness to the terrorist threat, especially in
light of the abduction and rape of over 300 girls from
a school in Chibok in June 2014.
Ogebe described in an email to Spero News more
recent horrors being visited upon Christians in
Nigeria. He wrote, “Our local partner's female
cousin is amongst those killed by Boko
Haramindicating that they are killing Christian
women too which is different from the takeover of
Gwoza. InGwoza, they beheaded Christian men and
married off their wives when they declared an
Islamic caliphate two weeks ago. According to Boko
Haram's own video, Abubakar Shekau claims he
killed 1,000 Christians on that day. This has not
been reported in the media as far as we can tell but
is contained in his YouTube statement. We are
investigating this but since he controls the town it is
impossible to tell. If true this is the worst single day
massacre of Christians anywhere in contemporary
history.”
The video in question was released by Boko Haram
on August 24 and can be seen on YouTube.Shekau
is seen on the video boasting of Boko Haram's
victories and slaughter, while calling on Nigerians to
accept Islam. According to SaharaTV, Boko Haram
released the video in order to celebrate the seizing
of the town of Gwoza, which the group has declared
is the capital of a new Islamic caliphate in Nigeria.
is its new headquarters for a new Islamic caliphate
in Nigeria. The video also showed examples of the
weapons captured from Nigerian security forces. In
addition, the video showed Nigerian troops
abandoning their positions as civilians fled for their
lives. In a statement, the media source declared
"SaharaReporters could not show that last 10
minutes of the video because it contains gruesome
images committed by Boko Haram militants against
innocent civilians in Gwoza.'
Earlier this year, a female suicide bomber detonated
an explosive device, killing herself and four
worshippers outright at a Catholic parish church.
The attacker is described as a girl of approximately
18 years in age. According to one report, it was on
July 27 when she was asked by soldiers guarding
the church why she was wearing traditional Muslim
attire that covered her from head to foot that she
unleashed the deadly blast. At least 70 persons
were injured on the scene, while three of the
wounded subsequently died in hospital.
In early June, Catholic Archbishop Alfred Adewale
Martins of Lagos wrote a pastoral statement in
which he said that Boko Haram’s tactics are ever
more worrisome because the insurgents are
seeking to “conquer” territories and force Nigeria’s
military to respond. Entitled "Take to heart",
Archbishop Martin’s statement said "it is most
disheartening to see women and children blowing
themselves up in the guise of fighting a religious
war."
