Plateau Massacre: Why We killed A Serving Senator,others – Boko Haram by bayulll01(m): 9:28am On Jul 11, 2012 |
Men of the dreaded Islamic group (Boko Haram) sect yesterday claimed responsibility for the last Sunday’s attack which led to the death of a serving senator, Gyang Dantong and a member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Gyang Fulani. Though, the duo was said to have died in a stampede according to police Special Task Force (STF) and an eyewitness But, the Islamic militants said they intentionally invaded the Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas in order to show their grievances against Christians in the communities and other Northern States. According to a statement written in Hausa and signed by Boko Haram leader Abul Qaqa, the sect said: “We thank God for our success in the attack on Christians at Barkin Ladi and Riyom, whereby security agents, Christians and two state and national assembly members were killed.” The statement continued with a warning: “We are also informing Christians all over the country to embrace Islam or they will be attacked. If they fail to do so, there is nobody to blame but themselves. “More attacks will be carried out as we have successfully done at Plateau and Kano on Christians and security informers. … Kano people must desist from giving information to security agents who are attacking them and their hired houses in Kano.” Initial news reports indicated that the fighting was due to disputes over land, with government officials evicting the Fulani tribesmen from certain pastures around Jos, and with Fulani herdsmen taking out their anger on Berom Christians’ homes and churches. In the Boko Haram statement, Abul-Qaqa insisted that the sect will leave no stone unturned in its goal of forcing all Christians out of the country. Source dailymail |

They do not need to give us any reason, we already know the reasons for their actions. They can carry on and go to hell thereafter! |
