Terrorism: ‘Bandits Threatening To Kill Me If I Dont Marry Their Leader – Plateau Widow Cries Out

A young widow whose husband was one of 40 people killed by terrorists in the Mushere community of Bokkos local government area of Plateau State in an attack in August, has cried out following threats by the killers to kill her and her three children if she refuses to marry one of the leaders.

The woman who gave her name simply as Nanbam narrated her ordeal to the global NGO, “Equipping the Persecuted” on Friday, saying that since the bandits killed her husband, they have made life difficult for her as they keep calling her to accept the marriage proposal from their leader or they will kill her and her children.

“My name is Nanbam and I am a widow with three children,” she said in a voice laden with fear.

“My husband was killed along with 39 other people when the bandits invaded our village in August. They surrounded the village and killed our people mercilessly. In my husband’s case, they cut open his body and removed his heart before throwing him into a pond.”

Nanbam stated that since the murder of her husband, the terrorists have not given her any breathing space as they call her almost every day, threatening to kill her and her children if she fails to marry their leader.

“They call me every day, using different numbers and have been threatening to kill me and my children if I keep refusing to marry their boss and convert to Islam since I am still a young woman.”

“In fact, the very day they killed my husband, they used his number to call me to say that their leader wants to marry me. I was shocked at what they said after killing him.

“I thought they were joking and I told them that over my dead body will I marry someone who killed my husband and the father of my children.”

She added that she had to relocate to her hometown in Mangu, hoping that the bandits would let her be, but the calls and threats have not stopped.

“I relocated to my village in Mangu, where I have been managing life with my children, but they keep calling and threatening me. My family said I should change my SIM card, which I did, and for a while, the calls stopped.

“I was surprised when a call came into my phone last week, and the person said they know where I am and if I still prove stubborn and refuse to marry their leader, they will come to the village and kill not only me but my children and other family members.

This is the height of man's inhumanity to man! I am disappointed in the youths of today. Why go to sleep when your house is on fire?

Knowing that these bandits can strike at anytime, the youths are supposed to mobilise themselves to forestall any attack.

This is war time, and you don't sleep with your two eyes closed when your enemy is planning an ambush.

Yet, the president and Kuka is saying their is no Christian genocide in Nigeria

This is a serious allegation that should not be left hanging.

The criminals have the audacity to place calls in an era when calls can be easily tracked and located?

Since she's a "nobody", our police will not have her time as usual.

Nigerian Islamist terrorists and their sympathizers will soon be sorry when President Donald Trump receives Congress Man Moore'S report on Christian Genocide in Nigeria.

Have you forgotten that one minister in Tinubu's regime claim terrorist are using special bouncing technology to evade tracking? Obvious that this regime is shielding terrorist murderers.

Youths should mobilize against armed men with sticks and stones? Haven't you even heard that the military aid these killers and arrest the youths that try to defend themselves against the herdsmen?

By the grace of God, they'd be sorry.

Is it sticks and stones that out almighty cult boys are using to terrorise our neighborhood? Is it sticks and stones that hunters are using to hunt? Is it sticks and stones that traditional worshipers in the rural areas are using to destroy the lives of others?

If they cannot mobilise and defend their territory, then they have themselves to blame. War cannot be declared on your home, whilst you go to sleep. Saying they get arrested for fighting back is all propaganda for now. Where is the evidence, and why are their representatives silent about it?
