Boko Haram Militants Massacre Civilians Describing Them As Infidels In Horrific Video

Boko Haram at the weekend released a video showing gunmen mowing down civilians lying face down in a dormitory, and a leader saying they are being killed because they are “infidels” or non-believers. There are so many bodies the gunmen have difficulty stepping to reach bodies still twitching with life. Most appear to be adult men.“We have made sure the floor of this hall is turned red with blood, and this is how it is going to be in all future attacks and arrests of infidels, From now, killing, slaughtering, destructions and bombing will be our religious duty anywhere we invade.”
The video was released on Saturday, two days after fleeing villagers reported that the extremists are rounding up elderly people and killing them in two schools in Gwoza, in northeast Nigeria.

The setting of the latest video appears to be a school, a long dormitory furnished with bunk beds which the leader says is in Bama, a town 40 miles north of Gwoza. Students and schools are frequently targeted by Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sinful” in the Hausa language.

In the video, the leader notes that the prophet Mohammed advised prisoners should be held, not killed, but says “we felt this is not the right time for us to keep prisoners; that is why we will continue to see that the grounds are crimsoned with the flowing blood of prisoners”.

He says some of those killed may call themselves Muslims, but are considered infidels by Boko Haram, a Sunni Jihadi group that imposes strict Shariah law.

The release of this latest video comes just days after Boko Haram was reported to have kidnapped 185 women and children, after slaughtering 32 people in an attack on Gumsuri, a remote village in northeast Nigeria.
