Mubi Massacre: "It wasn't us" - Boko Haram


Following the horrific massacre at Federal Polytechnic of Mubi, Adamawa state, that claimed the life of over forty persons, most of them students of the Institution (for more info click HERE ), Boko Haram has come out to say the killing was not a concern of the sect.

According to a man who claimed to be a senior member of the group, “We have no business with students or student politics. If students are our target we would have killed them randomly on sight and in their school and not sneak on them in the creeping darkness in an area occupied by both students and residents.

“What would have been our target as far as I am concerned would have been the building and properties of the institution, since it is owned by the Government. At least, by now other students elsewhere would have been attacked if students are our concern.”

According to a report: He said the mode of attack is not characteristic of the sect’s numerous attacks. “Several press releases by our spokesman and Imam in the past have made it clear who our enemies are, I don’t have to repeat it here. I don’t think anybody amongst us has the time to draw up a list or read it out before executing the students.”

So i guess our police are yet to find the perpetrators of the evil act.....i just hope this does not get swept under the rug like so many others!
