Danjuma, Lekwot, others
take Nigeria's case to UK
Continues from Page 5
Western crisis of 1965
and the coup of January
and July 1966. The July
coup was a jihad that
resulted in the killing of
innocent Nigerians
especially the Ndigbo
who were mainly
Christians. This jihad
resulted in the pogrom
that led to the Civil War
of 1967 – 1970. The
jihad continued with the
Maitatsine riots which
was supposed to be
between Muslim sects
but in reality provided
an excuse to attack and
kill Ndigbo especially
the shop owners and
their shops were looted.
There was no correlation
between Maitatsine and
Christian shop owners.
“Maitatsine” became an
excuse for jihad against
other Muslims to ensure
that they fall in line
especially in Bulunkutu,
Jimeta, etc. Having
subdued the North and
moderate Muslims
including the overthrow
of Christian General,
Yakubu Gowon and a
moderate Muslim
President, Shehu
Shagari, today, 2019,
Nigeria has a group of
Christian Clergy
(Mukharabat), men and
women paid
handsomely and
granted national
Honors, whose duties
include speaking in
defense of Islam and
Sharia."
Role of Religion
"There was a
commission of inquiry in
1982 in Nigeria which
discovered that the three
persons named above
introduced the doctrine
and operational manual
of Muslim Brotherhood
into Nigeria. The
Maitatsine inquiry
showed clearly the use
of state violence to quell
religious fanaticism thus
began the process of
state force to bring other
Muslim sects into line;
the same was applied to
El Zakzaky in 2016, a
Shiite who was an ally
of the Sunni in the
1970s to 1980s. It also
provided political
reasons for the
dominance of Muslim
North over Christian
South. Shekau’s video
“the religion of Allah not
the religion of
Democracy” in
December 17, 2014
shows the role of
religion in the crisis in
Nigeria."
Evidence of
organized coordination
"The Intelligence
Service is the only
organization in Nigeria
since independence that
has not been subjected
to a commission of
inquiry. It was
strengthened when
Murtala Mohammed
was assassinated and
became an instrument
for the “protection of
Muslims and the
promotion of Sharia.”
The Intelligence Service
constituted the
“invisible government”.
Evidence of this fact can
be found in the
leadership and
personnel of the
organization. The videos
made by Boko Haram
also showed organized
co-ordination."
Evidence of
support
"A former Governor of
Borno State started the
Boko Haram and coopted
the head of Boko
Haram sect, Yesufu into
his cabinet. A member of
NCEF and former Chief
of Army Staff had to call
on Nigerians to resort to
self defense when the
telephone of a terrorist
was discovered to
contain numbers of
government and top
officials in the Armed
Forces. No commission
of inquiry was set up,
but a committee of the
military was alleged to
have found the military
blameless. Today, all
Ethnic Nationalities
have been advised to
resort to self-help. This
is not evidence of an
organized society."
Disproportionate
Number of
Victims
"This can be attributed
to various acts of “stealth
jihad” by the Federal
Government whereby
arms in the hands of law
abiding citizens mainly
Christians were
confiscated while the
Fulani herdsmen and
Boko Haram retain their
AK47 rifles. When these
terrorists are arrested,
they are “re-habilitated”
and sent back into the
society. They are never
prosecuted.
Finance for
Weapons
"The case of an arms
dealer, a Nigerian who
lives in Egypt was
reported to the
Department of State
Security (DSS). The DSS
did not carry out the
directive of President
Jonathan that the
suspect be arrested and
interrogated.
Intelligence report in
2010, found (former
governor of Borno)
personal involvement in
the recruitment, training
and dispatch of Boko
Haram fighters. During
the period of Jonathan,
the Islamists
consolidated and the
result is what is taking
place presently in
Nigeria. The DG SSS
was accused by the
NCEF of disloyalty to
President Jonathan in a
letter to that
organization
December 2017."
in
Evidence of
collusion
"It is also clear that it
is stealth jihad to have
a Constitution that
prohibits State Police
even as money in
billions of dollars is
voted for vigilantes and
religious police, thus
rendering the Police
weakened by stealth
jihad while Boko Haram
and Fulani herdsmen
execute
the
conventional jihad. This
is the conclusion that
one can draw from these
statements of President
Buhari over the years
below:
i. “I will continue to
show openly the total
commitment to the
Sharia movement;”
ii. “Why should
Christians be concerned
when Muslims cut off
their limbs after all the
limbs cut off are Muslim
ones;”
iii. “I can die for the
course of Islam, if
necessary. We are
prepared to fight
another civil war; “
iv. “We cannot be
blackmailed into killing
the Sharia idea. Sharia
must be spread all over
Nigeria.”
v. “Boko Haram
members should be
pampered and given
VIP treatment but not
killed. It is injustice to
kill them;”
vi. “That Muslims

should only vote those
who will promote Islam.
“We are more than
Christians if you add our
Muslim brothers in the
South-West.” Buhari was
caught on video tapes
before he became
president in 2015.”
Action so far
taken
The action taken so far
by the government
suggests collusion or
cover up by refusing to
call jihad by its proper
name. When a crime is
committed and acts of
subjugation and/or
humiliation is added
such as rape or religious
signs or cries, this is
jihad. Because the
violence is motivated by
ideological reasons,
action taken by all
interested parties must
be directed towards the
prevention of violence.
Bullets do not kill
ideology; it is a better
ideology over time that
can eliminate Boko
Haram and Fulani
herdsmen and this is
Democracy.’’
Action taken to
prevent further
conflict
"Knowledge,
information and
understanding. It took
over 20 years of study to
appreciate that the
violence is motivated by
ideology. All forms of
distraction and
propaganda are utilized
to change the narrative:
poverty, illiteracy,
change of climate, etc.
The truth is Sharia
ideology
is
incompatible with
Democracy. A multicultural,
multi-religion
and multi-ethnic
country like Nigeria
requires Democracy not
Sharia.
"The Peace Accord
between the Federal
Government and Boko
Haram brokered by
Canon Stephen Davis
was never signed by the
Federal Government
after Boko Haram
leaders signed in July
2013. Two of the seven
Boko Haram leaders
who signed the
agreement lost their
lives in questionable
circumstances."
Fake news
"Democracy and
Sharia are no fake news.
Those who cry fake news
are those promoting
jihad and Taqiyya, so as
to provide an excuse for
stealth jihad and the
protection of jihadists.
An Imam in Plateau
State was rewarded for
saving hundred of
Christians from the
jihadists which showed
that not all Imams in
Nigeria are Jihadists."
Conflict
primarily
ideological
"The conflicting
ideologies of
Democracy and Sharia
are responsible for the
refusal of the Muslim
North to say thank you
to the Christian South
for the growth and
development of the
Muslim North. To do
so would contravene
the tenets of Islam and
Islamic supremacy
over other religions
and peoples. In the
paper of the National
Christian Elders
Forum titled Testimony
of Hope in Democracy
of May 17, 2019, we
suggested that Boko
Haram and Fulani
herdsmen are
perceived solutions to
what Northern Muslim
elite and student
groups saw as an
instrument for
solidifying an Islamic
identity in the face of
continuing Christian
advances in Nigeria. It
is time that the peoples
of Nigeria and the UK
appreciate that
Democracy and Sharia
is incompatible. What
Nigeria needs is
Democracy. It will be
very clear that Sharia
is no match for
Democracy with
respect to life being
more abundant.
Unfortunately, Britain
seems to have been
taken over by Muslims
and very soon would
need help, if they do
not appreciate that it is
an ideology (Sharia)
that is staring them in
the face."
