A helicopter hovered the skies of Adamawa on
Thursday, dropping flyers residents say may have
emanated from a breakaway faction of Boko
Haram,
The leaflets contain renunciation of the sect and
apology messages to the people.
It is the second time in two weeks the Boko Haram
sect has distributed flyers.
The first batch warned northerners not to go to the
polls.
The message showed spellings and pronunciations
that appeared Nigerien or Chadian and not
Nigerian Hausa.
Below is translation of the message:
“We started this jihad of Ahlis sunna lidda awati
together as one. We sleep together, we eat and
drink together. We studied the Holy Quran and
prayed together in the early days of this Jihad.
Those of us that are doing the work of God for the
past 5yrs today.
“We have to realize today that we are being used
for selfish and corrupt reasons. We have reached a
situation whereby our leaders are enjoying and we
are suffering in the name of jihad.
“The Holy Quran in 8;61 has told us that the
religion of islam of peace. Again the Holy Quran
has been very clear on the rules of jihad in 2;190.
And again in 6;151 that no one should kill and that
life is sacred and it belongs to God.
“Though we started good (in honor) with preaching
and teaching rules of Islam. We have woken up
today to burn villages and kill those who have done
nothing to us especially Christians without any just
cause.
“We have sent people away from their homes and
villages. And we have killed Muslims even though
the Quran has forbidden so in 4;-29-30. All the
properties we found in those villages and towns
were parked and sold on the streets of Ndjamena
Chad, Bosso Niger, and Fotokol Cameroon.
“And the proceed went to their pockets calling
themselves our leaders. even though its supposed
to be for our jihad. And calling for more in
destroying our country for no reason”.
