(Worthy News) – Suspected Boko Haram Islamic terrorists in northeast Nigeria have beheaded four ‘infidel’ civilians, one of whom was a woman and one who is believed to have been a Christian, the Open Doors international Christian advocacy organization reported on October 24. The traumatizing attack took place amid ongoing extreme violence against Nigerians considered ‘infidels’ for not conforming to the terrorists’ jihadist ideology.
Reporting that the beheadings were carried out in Borno State, in northeast Nigeria, Open Doors said the four victims had been abducted and their killings were filmed.
“In the video, an armed terrorist, dressed in fatigues and speaking Hausa, told onlookers how one of the people he would behead was his younger sister,” Open Doors reports. The terrorist explained that his sister was “part of the infidels we will annihilate today,” Open Doors reported. The terrorist then added that he would do the same if it were his mother or his child – anyone ‘who goes against our religion.’
“Wherever there is an infidel, we will go and find them out by ourselves and execute them,” the terrorist said before murdering the victims.
“Boko Haram extremists have clearly said time and time again that they are waging a jihad against people they call ‘infidels’ – that is anyone who does not sign up to their extreme interpretation of Islam,” John Samuel, Open Doors’ legal expert for sub-Saharan Africa said in a statement. “Some of the people at the top of this list, then, are Christians who are clear targets because of their faith.”
