Kobojunkie:

Are you suggesting that before Boko Haram came to the scene, Nigeria was devoid of crimes such as the one you described up there? Come one now. This is the same country where hundreds are senselessly killed by armed robbers on our express roads, each year, in some of the most brutal manners.

mikeansy:

Based on which history? For your info Boko Haram did not start in 2009/2010. They used to hit before then and their traditional hit style used to be gunmen on the back of motorbikes, stop, hit and run away. But they have since diversified.

Most importantly BokoHaram claimed responsibility for this hit through their traditional communication channels. It makes me wonder why you guys are so bent on absolving BokoHaram when they have claimed responsibility.

This is why we say the average Hausa Fulani man has a soft spot for Boko Haram.

But know this, when they no longer have any Igbos or Christains to kill. They will turn on fellow muslims.

Kobo, you really amaze with your squealing. There is crime in Nigeria, even to the most evil order.
However, the pertinent thing here is, 13 men of the same ethnic origin probably same village were annihilated because they gathered together to discuss the way forward on the incessant killings of their kinsmen. This is a planned genocidal act on defenseless people, it is not armed robbery nor kidnapping.

Kobojunkie:

I don't think there is a question of whether what took place is a crime or not, or of what country this happened in. The point here is who is to blame, and why are people quick to blame Boko Haram when it does not even resemble Boko Haram. And I don't think the ethnicity of the victims are that important here especially when you consider these people did not just come from nowhere to where they were found . . , they were not out-of-towners.

Let me re-iterate. Boko Haram's MO has not been that of targetting particular ethnic groups. No, Boko haram has been an equal-opportunity killer gang --- the group kills Hausas, ibos, yorubas, muslims and non . . . they don't seem to discriminate --- look at what happened in Kano. Majority of those killed where muslims and hausa. Also, the group readily admits involvement where it can. So why would it then decide to bounce to attack only people of one ethnicity in another state, when it has not done that before now.

Now, before Boko Haram came onto the Nigerian scene, crimes such as these where already common place however. Why are you suggesting then that this has to be Boko Haram knowing that this does not in anyway resemble the work of the group, and the group does not even claim it, nor does there seem to be a link to them yet?

And out of curiosity, why is it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that this was some sort of business-deal gone-wrong situation? This is not the first time it has happened in Nigeria, and will certainly not be the last so why is it impossible that this could be the case here?

BIGER BOY:

Book haram as "equal-opportunity killers" now that's a description I never thought of.

Cypost:

Nontheless, let's  spare a tot for pple who lost loved ones. I lost a cousin in dt God forseeking  dungeon in an attack prior to this, 5 persons died. He will be buried on Friday.

Ibman:

I was in mubi and really wanted to find out about d assasination of d 13 igbo men. From my interaction wit residents of mubi town i learnt that the Igbo men were murdered by assasins hired to murder one of them who was due for a title and feared they were recognised by some of them (igbos) and decided to eliminate all present.according to residents, i still can belive it myself.

tunnytox:

they must be extremely mean set of people

ezer:

Last time I checked,boko haram claimed responsibility for the killing of the 13 igbo businessmen as well as the 12 people killed at the deeper life church, so what are you dumb asses like the governor going back n forth for?,
The governor Is a clueless psychopath, he(governor) should know that one day he's life would also be snapped out of him probably by illness on the world would speculate AIDs.

Marwa alleged that , “the aim of the ruling government is to further divide the state according to religious lines between Muslims and Christians and our great party CPC and to claim that it is the handiwork of Boko Haram.[size=13pt] Unfortunately for the ruling party, Boko Haram which always claims responsibility for its actions did not claim responsibility for this action. This is not a Boko Haram action”[/size]

some Igbo guys were caught sending text to victims claiming to be Boko Haram.
