Na today NPF begin kill people in custody?
We de talk as if this na de first case or 1000th?

The police did what they have always been doing. If you are a cop killer or robber and arrested by the police and you live to walk the streets again then maybe the devil was asleep at the time you were arrested.

The NPF do not hold the ethics of modern day police, thats why the top boss can cook up any story for the public even though evidence will come from BBC or CNN to disprove his case and "no shaking"

Abi any person say Nigeria press no get photos of Boko Haram leader or his ex commisioner friend arrested by army or police? why dem no publish am to dispute the IGs claims?
Leave matter, this people don die, na who dem go kill tomorrow na him concern us. e fit be you.

Jakumo:

Mike Oscar has summarized the situation eloquently, but for those who don't feel like reading his entire post, here is a synopsis.

An organized gang of bloodthirsty fundamentalist madmen decided to wage WAR against the Nigerian state and its armed forces. During the chaos of any war, the arrayed forces on BOTH SIDES do not always have the facilities to SAFELY and SECURELY imprison captured combatants, to prevent those prisoners from being freed by their comrades in arms, to resume fighting.

Consequently, enemy fighters are often shot dead instantly after capture, so as to protect the rear flanks of the defending force from the danger posed by escaped prisoners. In short, once a shooting war has erupted, ALL the niceties and formalities of civilian or democratic due process, INCLUDING THE GENEVA CONVENTION, are set aside and replaced with primal slaughter and summary justice. That, in a nutshell is what transpired a few days ago in northern Nigeria.

Am still surprised that some pple are arguing that the BK leaders wld have been kept in custody to be given rule of law treatment in a nation like Nigeria where the legal system is still questionable.

lets just be thankful that the BK did not attack in cities or states where we are residing, if not some of us will not be alive to be arguing this.

i support the execution of any bloodthirsty fundamentalist that wages a war against the Nigerian state or its citizens for whatever reason

Your ability to type here on N/L already marks you out as a target for those guys for elimination, so would you wait for them to be let loose to come for you?.

Methinks, it's  better and safer for us all that those guys are not in circulation to keep preaching their hatred shit.

I wonder sometimes why we fail to read between the lines in this country. We allow a few criminals in politics and the press to limit our ability to think properly.

Some weeks ago a plane loaded with arms and ammunition we are told made an emergency stop at Kano to refuel. Other facts tell that the clearing agent for the consignment was arrested at the airport when he was trying to process some papers that same day just after the plain landed.

We were also told the plane which was headed for equitorial Guinea had the niger delta militants as their backers. The arms we were told was to be used to prosecute ND struggle in the creeks.

Nobody questioned why a clearing agent was already on ground at Kano airport when the plane made an emergency stop. May be the crew members put a call through to him and told him to meet them in Kano and luckily he had a faster means transport and got there before the plane landed. smiley

This man was killed at the instruction of his sponsors who surely are some elite in the North, in order to stop him from opening a can of worms.

Photos don’t lie…Sect leader alive after capture – Daily Trust

August 3, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi

Controversy over the killing of the Boko Haram sect leader took a new dimension yesterday when a photograph emerged showing that Mohammed Yusuf was alive and had no serious injuries when captured by the military.

The army last Thursday captured Yusuf, 39, and handed him over to the police, who a few hours later displayed his dead body and said he died in combat.

The BBC website yesterday posted a photograph which shows that Yusuf was alive when captured by the army.

Human rights groups have called for an immediate investigation into the killing of Yusuf, which they called “extrajudicial” and “illegal.”

On Friday, the army commander of the operation against the Boko Haram group, Col Ben Ahanoto, said he had personally captured Yusuf and handed him over to the Borno State police commissioner.

Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by IG: 5:36pm On Aug 03, 2009
I'm really surprised that people are trying to show sympathy to the Yusufiyya sect simply for political reasons.
You should know that those of us that are in Maiduguri don't have a problem with how Muhammad Yusuf was executed. All that matters is that he should be executed. The Yusufiyya sect have been threatening lives for a very long period in Maiduguri. They have drawn up an assassination list of top Islamic clerics. They do not consider anybody a Muslim except if you belong to their sect. They have broken families, widowed many women, orphaned many children and openly threatened to fight the Government. There have been special prayers against them in mosques all across Maiduguri. We were complaining that the government is not doing anything, and now that the government has taken a decisive action all of a sudden people are talking of human rights and extra-judicial killings. It's really annoying that nobody cares about the feelings of the residents of Maiduguri whom this sect have been keeping in a perpetual state of fear.

About BBC, VOA and Co., don't believe anything they say. They were not allowed into the crisis area. Most of the stories they give you are based on hearsay. Even the name "Boko Haram" was concocted by the Hausa service of the BBC. The sect were called the Yusufiyya sect by the people of Maiduguri. Just imagine, well after everything was over, france24 was saying that there are still gun battles going on in Maiduguri.

And about Buji Foi, he has resigned from government work long ago when he joined the sect.

Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by nex(m): 6:08pm On Aug 03, 2009
@IG

whether the Maiduguri people are satisfied with his execution or not, the residents of Maiduguri did not write the constitution of this country and so the fact that they are happy with the lawlessness of the law enforcement agents does not have any consideration in this matter.

I'm so concerned about this not because I love this Yusuf man. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM!
I'm not saying the man's life should be preserved at all cost even in a while carrying out the act of terrorism. THE MAN SURRENDERED HIMSELF.

My fear is that if we support this today and the police find out that they can do this in broad daylight and get away with it, nobody knows how many innocent Nigerians they'll kill under the roar of our cheers. We should tackle this now so that it won't become a culture of slaughtering unarmed suspects in broad daylight.

We know that several INNOCENT Nigerians are killed at night by these policemen and they have been denying it, but this is done in our full glare and they are not denying it. If we overlook this now, you have no idea the floodgate of extra-judicial killings we would have opened. Our aim here is not to condemn the police to the point that they have to go resurrect the dead body. The man is dead. That alone should let you know that we're only doing this to protect our future.

However, if you all trust in the sincerity and the omniscience of the police in all criminal and legal matters and are certain that they are perfect in judgement to the extent never wrongly punishing the innocent,we should then call a referendum for the Judiciary to be disbanded and the third arm of government will be the Police.

That is my final word on this matter.

@sology,

You are a Class A goat, an slowpoke, a fool and a bastard!

Your entire family and your whole village will be gunned down and burnt down by a combined force of the Nigerian Police and the Nigerian Army before Boko Haram will see my family! Bloody illiterate zombie! Thunder fire your life!

If your wasted brain could let you think, you'll know that a Nigerian walking on any street in Nigeria at any time, is ten thousand times more likely to be killed by members of the NPF than by members of Boko Haram or any other potential radical groups.

Keep cheering the NPF. Asswipe!

Ok , now the Boko Haram monsters will never see your family abi?

But its ok for them to see other peoples families and maim and kill them while you are hear salivating and talking your crap.

Why not be as non-charlant and unsympathetic about your family members as you have expressed by refusing to look at the other people's angle.

LILY LIVERED SWINE.

If you get an encounter soon enough, will you be able to handle it?

You remember that.  

If this battle is brought to your doorstep, will you be able to stand?

[edit]

Like i said earlier, we know where your concern lies. Those people that you are supporting from other parts of the country that are also causing mayhem in the country will receive the same soon enough(together with their sponsors and supporters).

Its not about running your mouth on a forum on the internet.

Do you have enough in you to stand?

There is something very disturbing about all these extra judicial killings
For one,we have been denied the opportunity of knowing the REAL masterminds (forget that Mohammad Yussuf,he was just a puppet),I'm sure there must be some highly placed sharia zealots occupying top positions in government,who I suspect made the calls for the extra judicial killings of Yussuf and Foi,so they won't spill the beans and implicate them during rigorous interrogations

Thanks for the youtube feed,soooooo sad
The Nigeria Police is and has always been a band of ill-trained marauding vagabonds,majority of them are not even better than the Boko haram sect
Any and every supected criminal ought to be allowed to have his day in court,extra judicial killings are totally unacceptable

Such a shame
Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Jakumo(m): 6:31am On Aug 04, 2009
I must say that as much as I initially supported the summary execution of that fundamentalist mob leader who had been spreading violence from northern Nigeria to the rest of the country, the video posted by Asha was truly frightening, especially since the man used for target practice in that footage MAY have been an innocent, and NOT the gang leader, who had been photographed earlier stripped to the waist, after his arrest.

What  I saw in that video was a man who could be anyone, paralyzed with fear over his imminent death, being pushed down the road by a flak-jacket wearing policeman, to walk the last few paces of his life in front of laughing, bellowing mob of armed cops, who then displayed their appalling marksmanship by firing over 30 point-blank shots at the man, who in response clasped his hands in prayer as he walked along with bullets whistling all around him, until one round finally blew him off his feet, to the loud jeers of his killers.

The haunting memory of that footage will stay with me for a long time, and was deeply, deeply unsettling, even to one who is jaded and accustomed to hearing of unspeakable horrors coming out of Nigeria.

Those who have been sickened by the most public of these police shootings were right all along in their blanket disavowal of summary "justice",  because in condoning mob justice for a captured heathen, we condone it for all, guilty and innocent alike.
Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by ocelot2006(m): 12:57pm On Aug 04, 2009
We Nigerians are very funny. When the leader of Boko Haram and his followers were busy killing innocent Nigerians, everyone on the thread were busy screaming that the govt was ineffective and they (the govt) must act. Then the federal gov (through the army, state security service, and police force) successfully resolve the whole situation by nipping it at the very bud, and you're all screaming and whining about human rights?! Well, you and other human right watch groups should go cry my a f#@king river angry ! Why don't you all take your talks of "human rights" and "barbarity" to the families of the innocent people and law enforcement offficers murdered by the scums of Boko Haram?

By the way, in 2008 the leader of Boko Haram was arrested the State Security Service (SSS) as the agency (through intel gathered) knew that he was planning something big. Both the agency and the Nigerian Police Force used the proper legal channels, sending him to court, and filed charges against him. But guess what, the Judiciary (Abuja high court) acquited him. And the result? 5 states almost going up in flames with innocent people of both faiths killed by Boko Haram. Do you think the govt is going to take chances this time?

http://odili.net/news/source/2009/aug/3/611.html (for more on that)

As far as I'm concerned, members of Boko Haram got a dose of their own medicine, and I will shed absolutely no tear for them as they roast in the hottest parts of hell. And kudos to the army, police and SSS for ending the violence. The president and C-in-C gave the orders, and the violence was contained and resolved (termination with extreme prejudice).
Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by nex(m): 1:51pm On Aug 04, 2009
I knew that there were a lot of Nigerians who supported this execution would gradually come to realise the magnitude of the crime committed by the police and finally come to condemn it.

Even madam who rebranded the execution as commendable police work would have not been so optimistic if her daughter was caught with her Oyibo husband and summarily executed by the JTF on suspicion of kidnapping an expatriate oil worker. Well, I hope then she would be able to visit Al Jazeera and commend the police.
Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by idhigbe(m): 2:18pm On Aug 04, 2009
I would had commended the NPF for these executions if i was only sure that there are no ulterior motives behind the killings.  

I view it from two points, the last crisis in Maiduguri had been the worst for the NPF, it lost a lot of officers.  The painful part of it is this, if you leave these people in detention, before you know it they will be walking the streets free men.  These people have caused a lot of pains to a lot of families.  Do you know how many lives were lost? How many children that would never have a father to see them through life? They don't deserve the decency of a trial.  They slaughtered men like animals, they deserve same fate.  

Nigeria has always been a failed state.  No be today.  If the NPF did not take the action it did, the courts would had failed us all by setting this men free.  Search the news. Mohammed yusuf was released on bail in January after being arrested for similar offense.  Why was he released?  Who effected the release?

But again, i stop to wonder.  The claimed affluence in which Yusuf was to had been living in would make one wonder where he got his finances from.  I don't believe only one man could fund a group this large.  how can we be sure that the executions are not just a show to appease nigerians while still protecting the main people behind the scene?  If and only if they had saved yusuf and tortured him more, i believe some names would had come out that will shock the living shit out of Nigerians.  

These riots in the north are not accidental, they are becoming too numerous to believe that there is no strings attached.  

There is something Nigerians are not being told.  In my opinion, these crises are ethnically targeted but disguised under religion.  Islam preaches peace.  "Asalam male' Kun" if i got that right remains the traditional greeting in Islam.  How can a religion that preaches peace so much be responsible for some much violence?

No Southerner can own properties in the North because during these crises you will be the first target.  More lives had been lost in the North due to these crisis than the rebel group in the Niger Delta can hope of claiming in Twenty years, but all eyes are on the Niger delta.

They take what we have to build up their own society, leaving us with nothing and yet we cannot survive in their own environment. When we talk of a one nigeria, the only thing that holds Nigeria together as a country is the pipe-lines running from the south-south to the north and to the west.  This is the only tape that holds the pieces together.  There is no love from the north to south or west.  When they start these riots, the first target is always the igboman or anything that looks like one (urhobo, calabar, ijaw, isekeri etc).  Then the Yoruba man.  Are there not Yoruba  and even igbo Muslims?  Do they take these into considerations when they draw out the daga?

Let us tell ourselves the truth.  All these goes beyond the eye.
