Islamic State kidnaps
Nigerian Christian.


Written by: Seyi Gesinde

A 36-year-old Nigerian identified as Ibrahim
Adeola is among three African Christians the
Islamic State (IS) claimed it kidnapped in
eastern Libya, in a statement the Islamist
group published on social media.
The group, though didn't give further details
about the captives, it simply introduced
them as men from Egypt, Nigeria and
Ghana, publishing their passport pictures.
Others kidnapped alongside Adeola,
according to details in their published
passports, are Kofi Sekyere from Ghana and
Bikhet Nageh from Egypt.


As contained in his posted passport, Adeola
was born on May 24, 1979, and an indigene
of Imo State, while his passport was issued
on January 21, 2012 and its expiration date
is January 20, 2017.
“The three were kidnapped from Noufliyah in
the southeast of the city of Sirte, Libya,” a
Libyan resident told Al-Arabiya, an online
medium covering news in the Middle East
and North Africa.


Reuters news agency also quoted Mohamed
El Hejazi, a military spokesman loyal to the
internationally recognised government
based in the east, to have confirmed the
abduction happened in the small town.
The Egyptian, Nageh, 21, according to Al-
Arabiya, who is from Sohag governorate of
Upper Egypt, was working in Barcaei in
eastern Libya, before his kidnap.


The news medium said Nageh’s family
refused to provide any details about the
incident nor the date of his traveling to
Libya or the nature of his work when
contacted.
This is the first time a Nigerian is
announced as being kidnapped by IS, but in
January, IS kidnapped reportedly 21
Egyptian Christians in Libya’s city of Sirte
and released a video of their beheading in
February.


IS issued the seventh edition of its English-
language magazine of Dabiq on February
12, saying that the Egyptian Copts were
kidnapped “in revenge” for an Egyptian
woman who was allegedly tortured in an
Egyptian churches over converting to Islam.
IS expanded its branch to Nigeria in March,
when the country's terror group, Boko
Haram, pledged allegiance to ISIS, after
which it released an audio statement on its
Twitter account, saying: “We are sending
you this message, following what Allah said
in his Quran: And hold fast, all together, to
the rope of Allah and not be divided among
ourselves.


“And what the prophet said; whoever died
and had not Imam, died by ignorance. In
submission to the order of Allah ‘Azza wa
jal’, and submission to order of the prophet
peace be upon him, we announce our
allegiance to the caliphate of the Muslims
Ibrahim ibn Awad ibn Ibrahim al-Husseini
al-Qurashi and will hear and obey in times
of difficulty and prosperity, in hardship and
ease, and to endure being discriminated
against and not to dispute about the rule
with those in power except in the case of
infidelity.”
