Members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram,
have instituted the Shara law in Mubi, Adamawa
State, captured by the insurgents last week.The
insurgents were also said to have amputated the
hands of 10 residents said to have been found
guilty of sundry offences, including looting of property of fleeing residents.
According to Punch, Sources in Mubi town said
they saw the terrorists parading 10 persons
whose hands were said to have been
amputated.The victims were said to been
amputated in the presence of residents the
insurgents asked to converge to witness the enforcement of Sharia law.
An eye witness account indicated that two imams
were dragged out from a mosque and beheaded
for allegedly preaching against Boko Haram. The
insurgents also advised all Christians in the Mubi
Local Government Area to relocate to other areas
except they were prepared to be islamised or be killed.
The source further said that the Emir’s palace in
Mubi had been converted to the residence of the
‘Amir’ and that the insurgents hoisted their flags to
signify that they were in control of the palace.
Our correspondent learnt that the most affected by the development in Mubi were students of the
Adamawa State University and the Federal
Polytechnic, Mubi.
The students were said to have
gone through torture before some of them
reportedly escaped through the border between Nigeria and Cameroun.
Some of them were said to still be in the bush.
“I must give thanks and praises to God almighty
for spearing my life; I saw as people were being
slaughtered like goats. I am too happy to see
myself alive,” a female student of the Federal
Polytechnic, told our correspondent in Yola on Sunday.
The insurgents said their mode of prayer was
different from what Muslims in the town were used
to and that they were “in Mubi to restore Islamic
independence to the people and anybody who
does not follow us must be killed.” “We are not to hurt anyone but to free the people
from religious slavery,” a source quoted the
insurgents to have said.
