Army keeps mum as ISWAP executes 11 Christian captives in North East

THE Nigerian Army has maintained sealed lips hours after reports emerged that 11 captives in the den of Islamic State of West Africa Province, (ISWAP) were executed on Christmas Day.

Neither the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) nor the Nigerian Army could react to the development when Vanguard sought their reactions on Thursday.

The acting Director of Defence Information, Brig. Onyema Nwachukwu, while responding to Vanguard’s inquiry on the veracity or otherwise of the report, referred the matter to the Nigerian Army, saying it was the army’s place to react.

But several calls made to the known mobile phone line of the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sagir Musa, were not answered.
A follow-up text message sent to the number was yet to be responded to at the time of filing this report.

The ISWAP fighters were reported to have executed 11 captives in its den on Christmas Day.

Ahmad Salkida, a conflict journalist renowned for his monitoring of terrorist activities in Nigeria’s northeast, had said the captives were executed on Christmas Day.

According to Salkida, who disclosed this in his website @ salkida.com, said ISWAP claimed the captives were executed “as a revenge for the killings of our leaders, including Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Abul-Hasan Al-Muhajir in Iraq and Syria.”

“But conflict journalists and researchers, including Jacob Zenn, said ‘it is possible ISIS ordered ISWAP to kill them’ as it had intervened in other hostage situations,” he said.

He, however, debunked claims by the terror group that all the victims are Christians.

“Not all 11 of the victims are Christians as claimed by the group, there were three Muslims and 10 Christians that appeared in the captured video on the 17th December,” Salkida said in a post on his website.

“The terrorist group claimed that they spared the lives of two persons that appeared in the earlier video, but did not give their names.

“However, a careful assessment of the video revealed that Suwaiba Kashimu from Nasarawa state, and one other male, were apparently not amongst those killed on Christmas,” Salkida wrote.

“The decision to execute the captives was rather swift, abrupt and shocking. ISWAP had reportedly opened a window of negotiations ostensibly to exchange the freedom of the captives with those of its members in government custody but the Nigerian government failed to take the offer.”

The killing comes few hours after Boko Haram jihadists killed seven people on Christmas Eve in a raid on a Christian village near the town of Chibok in Borno State.

Dozens of fighters driving trucks and motorcycles stormed into Kwarangulum late Tuesday, shot fleeing residents and burnt homes after looting food supplies.

Boko Haram and its IS-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) faction have recently stepped up attacks on military and civilian targets.

I don't know why terrorism exists in a particular religion.

RUGA, CJN, Boko Haram etc. The energy they are using to promote killing if they can use them and go into the manufacture of plane, car or put them into the farming business.

Nigeria would have been great long ago.

"I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have, more shall be taken away. BUT THESE ENEMIES OF MINE WHO DOES NOT WANT ME TO REIGN OVER THEM, BRING THEM BEFORE ME AND SLAY THEM" (Luke 19: 26 - 27)
That was Jesus speaking in the new testament, asking his deciples to " bring my enemies before me and slay them." Many Christians had used such verses in the Bible against other faith adherents before: The crusaders used it against Muslims and Jews, the Nazies used it against Jews, recently, the Bosnian Christians used it against Bosnian Muslims.

Of course, I took the verse out of it historical context, and that is what every Muslim terrorists also do with the Quran, they single out the part that suite there lunacy and used it as justification for there madness.

This was the correct assertion of the American govt as they have sufficient intel.Meanwhile no reasonable Nigerian need this to know that islamic jihad is ongoing.

And some gullible Nigerians don't believe that a systematic genocide & destruction of the Military(esp. Southern Christains) is actively ongoing under this satanic government?

Imagine the swiftness these terrorists use in senselessly executing our poor military & civilians alike, yet the same govt of Maj.Gen.Buhari(Rtd) is lying to this nation with all manners of rhetoric that this terrorist network have long been defeated.

Meanwhile, they are paying them staggering ransom, releasing them as "repented,rehabilitated &deradicalized" BH members?? Giving terrorists unparalleled luxury? sad
The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist.

embarassed Too bad.


[b]One of my kinsman was amongst those abducted. A very nice man who sells hair attachment at Monday market here in Maiduguri.

May God give his family the strength to bear this irreparable loss.

But Buhari why can't you sack all your service chiefs including security Advisers.

Funnily enough some of these service chiefs and security advisers are from Borno and most of them can never visit their villages embarassed

Buhari ISWAP controls several LGAs here in Borno oooooooh. Creating a military base in the headquaters of a Local government does not mean the military controls that LGA, there are several villages in that LGA where ISWAP are breeding. ISWAP dont sleep in the open or under the trees ooooh.

I work in Monguno my President and just 3kilometers outskirts of this town towards Marte LGA is a death sentence. Should i mention Kukawa and Cross? Should i mention the Headquarters Gudzamala LGA? I dont want to even mention Baga, Doron Baga and even the Dreaded Doron naira Island.

My President do something

This need to be properly investigated.

What an evil set militants/terrorists, these animals have been killing thousands of innocent Muslims, without media attentions they crave, however with the killings of innocent Christians victims they are now competing with Al bagdadi led Isis & Joseph Kone led Lord Resistance Army Christian terrorist group. These murderers are now international. May Allah grant the victims family, the fortitude to bear the loss & Nigerian government needs to up its security counter measures.
