A 60-year old Maiduguri based businessman, Friday, turned in his son, a member of the deadly Boko Haram sect, to the Joint Task Force (JTF), Operation Restore Order.
It was gathered from a source within the family that the son before departing from the family house few days ago had threatened to kill his father.
But to everyone’s surprise the son returned home some days later, pleading with his father to give him refuge from the soldiers, who have started a clampdown on the sect.
The source said the son "after confessing all his
crimes, including how he participated in killing of
people and looting of banks to his father, the old
man decided that it was against his conscience to
keep a killer-son in his home, so decided to turn
him in."
The source further revealed that the father, who is
Kanuri, after making up his mind against housing a
killer-son approached the Sector office of the JTF
and told them of the criminal involvement of his
son.
It was gathered that the soldiers followed the father home to arrest the son, who had to be shot dead, while trying to escape arrest. An eyewitness described the incident: "When the young man was shot by the soldiers and was writhing in pains, the old man only turned to say Masha Allah (to God be the glory)."
The old man was also said to have decided against
taking up the ill-gotten wealth of his son stashed
away near the family house.
A source said: "Before he was handed over to the
soldiers, the young man had revealed to his father
and family members that he possessed two cars
and had millions of Naira buried somewhere near
the family home. "But the no-nonsense father said he has no interest in his ill-gotten asset and has no intentions of inheriting his assets, according to Islamic injunctions because they are 'haram," the source further revealed.

Like My father would do!!
But ThankGod am a Good Son!!

It takes boldness, courage, & maturity to do a thing like this..

That man deserves a state honour at least..

All hope is not lost for Islam. If there are a million more shining examples of the good conscience, discipline, and integrity demonstrated by this great man , then the world would begin to see the positive side of Islam.

We don't want the disgruntled muslims to continue their defensive attitude and penchant for justifying or extenuating the all-too-frequent extremism and brutal violence of their fellow muslims. Rather, we need them to take a FIRM stand against the bad eggs in their midst, condemn their actions totally, and fight them to a standstill from within. That is what this noble man has just done with his Boko Haram son, and he needs to be emulated.
