TO avoid leaving their wives behind for
“unbelievers”, Boko Haram insurgents were said
to have been murdering their spouses asking
them to wait in heaven for later reunion.
Newly-liberated persons from Bama narrated
how that many of the insurgents fearing that
they would be captured and killed slaughtered
their wives to prevent being inherited by
“infidels.”
Our correspondent was told that the insurgents
who fled Bama for Gwoza, the last of the
territories under them, swiftly slaughtered almost
all their wives before the flight.
One of the freed captives from Bama told
journalists in Maiduguri on Wednesday evening
that many of the insurgents’ wives were killed so
that unbelievers would not remarry them.
The source said the insurgents told the killed
women that “we will not leave anyone of you
because if unbelievers marry you when we get to
heaven, there is no way we can meet again so
we do this so that we can meet in heaven.”
“The women pleaded with them but they refused
and slaughtered them; we were seen as
unbelievers because we didn’t accept their faith
so we were spared,” the source added.
Narrating their ordeal while in custody of the
insurgents, she said, “It was as if heaven will
fall; many lost their lives but we were kept in
some houses so many things happened, my
husband and children were killed but all I could
remembered is that yesterday (Tuesday) we
were brought to Maiduguri by military who saved
us from them.”
Meanwhile, troops of the Nigerian Army, who
carried out the liberation of the Bama, Borno
State, have discovered wells said to be loaded
with corpses of people executed by retreating
members of the Boko Haram Islamic Sect.
An intelligence source said the victims were
some of the hostages who might have resisted
the insurgents during their period of occupation
in Bama.
Our correspondent learnt that several other
corpses of victims of the terrorists were found
by the Bama River.
The terrorists, knowing that that they were going
to lose the town to the soldiers, were said to
have unleashed mayhem on the town, executing
those whose religious ideologies conflicted with
their own.
The troops were also said to be interrogating
some residents of Bama to ascertain their true
identities.

Could these terrorists be anymore demented.. Brain dead?
