This article says that “security agents…could launch an immediate manhunt for them.”
They could. Not that they will. Governments all over Africa seem either unable or unwilling to stop jihadist groups. In Nigeria, the evidence is mounting that they’re more unwilling than unable.
“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
“Boko Haram kills 10 farmers in Borno,” Within Nigeria, September 24, 2023:
At least ten people have been killed by rampaging terrorists wreaking havoc in Nigeria’s north east state of Borno.
The victims are all farmers, nine other locals were abducted during the attack on Saturday.
The attack occurred late afternoon in the fields between Bulakunkumma and Maiwa villages of Baram Karowa ward of the LGA.
The insurgents also sneaked into Zannari ward, Maiduguri metropolitan part of the same LGA (Mafa) of the same day (Saturday) and N4 million from a businessman (name withheld) to avoid abduction.
One Ya Bukar, who confirmed the attack, gave the number of abductees as four, although another source, Goni Mohammed, has their number as nine.
“They came roving across farms in search of food and cash, when the farmers said they couldn’t afford the amounts they requested for, they killed 10 of them, all men, and went away with four.” PUNCH quoted him as saying.
He said the insurgents killed the 10 farmers and abducted the four they could accost to ensure that they did not leave anyone to report their operations immediately to the security agents, who could launch an immediate manhunt for them.
Mohammed, the second source, however, said, “The insurgents abducted nine farmers when they told them that they didn’t have any cash to give.”…

Boko Haram – Child Minds given dangerous things, AK-47s and the Quran’s Sura 9.

When a nation has a despicable piece of sh*t like Bola Tinubu, who is a member of those killing the Christians, why do people continue to ask why? Sooner or later there will be a full scale civil war and I pray to God that Biden or someone like him and Obumer is not in the White House.

I wonder if the nine others as the media but it, just happen to be women who are now probably sex slaves.

If only African muslims read their own koran critically…
koran 3:106 allah does not like black people:they go to hell anyway.
koran 3;107 allah’s requirement to enter his paradise:make sure you don’t have a black face.You won’t get in if you do!
The Irony is probably lost on them.

FYI, Your point is well made and if one thinks of Casius Clay who changed his name to Muhamad Ali, it would become clear how naive these people are. He was originally named for a person who fought for the freedom of blacks and renamed for a mythical character who was described as pure white. This is the left’s lack of knowledge today.

I’m an African from Kenya and my soul bleeds when I read stories like this.The only thing remaining for us in Africa we non Muslims is to launch resistance all over the sub Sahara and wipe out Islam from our midst.I believe that Islam can only be defeated by strong opposition like what the Burmese did.
