Horrific photographs of the Dalori village in the aftermath of the Boko Haram attacks show the charred bodies of humans and animals strewn across the streets.
It is important to note that 100+ people were killed in that attack, the whole village burnt to the ground & children burnt to death.
The terrorists operated for more than 4 hours unchallenged by the Nigerian Army, the same Army that killed 1000+ defenseless Shia Muslims in Zaria some weeks back. That village was just some few kilometers from Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state where military formations are based.
The Nigerian Army Chief Buratai told the Nigerian human rights commission that members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) are “worse” than BokoHaram. The question we ask the Nigerian Army Chief Buratai is that he shold give us the statistics of when members of IMN killed a single Nigerian or even harm anybody in its entire 38 years of existence?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never killed a Single person in Nigeria?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never attacked any village to kill people, when we have never set off bombs in mosques, churches, hospitals, schools, markets etc to kill the innocent?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we are victims of BokoHaram in the past in Nigeria & #ShiaGenocide is a Global agenda of #Wahhabism?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never declared war on the Nigerian State nor have we ever bear arms to attack the institutions of the state?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we do not subscribe to the deviant ideology of #Wahhabism that only promote hate, intolerance & #Terrorism?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we are the only #Islamic organization in #Nigeria that invite #Christians to our programs and activities?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when our brothers & sisters donate blood in most of our programs to be given free to less privilege Nigerians?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never kidnapped High School girls (#Chibok) & turned them to sex-slaves?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never use teenage girls as suicide bombers to kill the innocent?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never excommunicated any Muslim from Islam or legalize the blood of the innocent or legalize the plundering of the innocent?
-How can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when even after 1000+ of our members where brutally killed by the Nigerian Army, our Leader & his wife fatally shot multiple times, his three sons killed, his resident burnt to the ground by the Nigerian Army & our Husseiniyya (Islamic Center) destroyed & raised to the ground but we remain peaceful in all our protest?
And finally how can we be “worse” than BokoHaram when we have never killed in our 38 years histotry any member of the Nigerian military or member of the Nigerian Police Force or any member of the Nigerian security forces? BokoHaram has killed thousands of Nigerian security forces, they had sacked an entire Army battalion, burnt down military barracks & formation, destroyed Police Barracks & burnt them down.
How are we “worse” than BokoHaram?
