Video On How Boko Haram Slaughtered Traders Viewed

A video on how Boko Haram slaughtered some people has been seen .The videos were shown to a group of senators during a security briefing by the JTF in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. In the video where the traders were captured, they were pinned to the ground, with their hands tied behind their back, while a sect member bent over to run a sharp knife through one of their prey’s neck. What followed was a stream of blood and shouts of Allahu Akbar (God is Great) by the slaughterers! Some of the traders, who were forced to watch the gruesome slaughter of their colleague, simply dug their faces into the ground in submission to a will not chosen by them. One after the other, the same hideous fate befell each. Not done, the sect members hung each of the severed heads on its torso to stare lifelessly into space.

Also, the senators saw the killing of three uniformed policemen, with their green berets intact. Before the cops were slaughtered, they were made to stand in front of a banner with Arabic inscriptions, while a hooded terrorist, with an AK-47 rifle, read portions of a Quran before pronouncing death sentences on them. Before their execution, two of the policemen slumped out of fear of the impending death.

Although the delegation was forewarned by Borno State Deputy Governor, Zannah Umar Mustapha, who attended the briefing, about the unimaginable savagery they were about to see, some of the senators reportedly could not muster the guts to watch the full length of the video. So gripping was the horror that they buried their faces in their palms, while others asked the intelligence officer to fast-forward the videos. A retired general, who fought in the Nigerian Civil War, and a member of the delegation, was said to have confessed to his colleagues that not even in the war did he witness such cruelty.
