Boko Haram Executes Two Christian Aid Workers in Nigeria
Islamic extremist group vows to kill others from predominantly Christian tribes.
Boko Haram Executes Two Christian Aid Workers in NigeriaIslamic extremist group vows to kill others from predominantly Christian tribes.
JOS, Nigeria, September 30, 2019 (Morning Star News) – Islamic extremist group Boko Haram released a video last week showing the execution of two Christian aid workers in Nigeria, sources said.
Lawrence Duna Dacighir and Godfrey Ali Shikagham, both members of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Plateau state, are shown kneeling while three masked, armed men stand behind them in a video posted Sept. 22 on Boko Haram’s Amaq news agency site. The two young men, who had gone to Maiduguri to help build shelters for people displaced by Islamic extremist violence, are then shot from behind.
Speaking in the Hausa language, the middle one of the three terrorists says in the video that they have vowed to kill every Christian they capture in revenge for Muslims killed in past religious conflicts in Nigeria. Dacighir and Shikagham, originally from Plateau state’s Mangu County, were captured by Boko Haram, now called the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), as they carried out their work in displaced persons camps.
Ethnic and religious tensions resulted in large-scale clashes between Muslims and Christians in Jos in 2001 and 2008.
It is not clear from the video, temporarily posted on YouTube, when the two men were executed. Their identities were confirmed by a relative, the Rev. John Pofi, a COCIN pastor.
Pastor Pofi, a cousin of the two executed Christians, told Morning Star News in a text message statement also shared with others that the two Plateau state natives had gone to Maiduguri from Abuja.
“Lawrence and Godfrey left Abuja for Maiduguri in search of opportunities to utilize their skills for the betterment of humanity and paid with their lives,” Pofi said. “We will never get their corpses to bury. The community will have to make do with a makeshift memorial to these young lives cut short so horrifically.”
If the federal government had created economic opportunities for those tempted to join extremist groups and had returned security to the country, his cousins would not be dead now, Pastor Pofi said.
“We must ask ourselves if this is the kind of country we want where young men who are earning an honest living are brutally killed while those who abduct and kill others are invited to dialogue with government and paid handsomely,” he said.
In a letter last week to the United Nations secretary general, attorney Emmanuel Ogebe of the U.S.-Nigeria Law Group, a legal consulting firm with an emphasis on human rights, expressed concern that the Nigerian government did not condemn the killing of the two men even though they were helping to provide shelter for displaced Nigerians.
“Lawrence and Godfrey …were using their skills to provide a basic human need of shelter to others when they were killed,” Ogebe stated. “Your excellency, we wish to draw your urgent attention to the fact that taken together with the execution of aid worker Hauwa Liman (ICRC) this time last year, the recorded number of aid workers slaughtered by terrorists in Nigeria over the past decade is now in excess of 40.”
Ogebe asserted in his letter that the killing of the two Christians was Boko Haram’s first execution on the basis of “ethnic cleansing.” The two victims were from the predominantly Christian Mwalghavul ethnic group. Previous ethnic/religious clashes took place between the predominantly Muslim Hausa and Fulanis against the predominantly Christian Berom, Irigwe, Afizere, Tarok, Ngas and Mwalghavul peoples.
Ogebe wrote that workers for international aid group Action Against Hunger kidnapped in July issued a distressed plea for government help with no notable administration response. On Wednesday (Sept. 25), Action Against Hunger announced that one of its workers being held hostage had been executed.
“More executions of humanitarian workers could yet occur,” Ogebe wrote to the U.N. “Despite these humanitarian organizations’ resilience in still serving victims, the Nigerian Government has since just last week suspended Action Against Hunger and Mercy Corp on dubious grounds.”
International aid agency Mercy Corps suspended operations in Borno and Yobe states in northeast Nigeria after the Nigerian army closed four of its offices in the region without explanation, the agency announced on Wednesday (Sept. 25).
Ogebe urged the U.N. secretary general to obtain an assurance from Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari that all hostages will be released before the country’s Independence Day on Tuesday (Oct. 1).
“We also ask that you implore him to lift the suspension on humanitarian groups providing urgent services to victims,” Ogebe wrote. “We urge the secretary general to remind President Buhari of Nigeria’s obligations under international humanitarian law to negotiate the protection of aid workers and non-combatant civilians in its dialogue with BH/ISWAP [Boko Haram/Islamic State in Western Africa Province].
Nigeria ranked 12th on Open Doors’ 2019 World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution.

‘Ethnic and religious tensions resulted in large-scale clashes between Muslims and Christians in Jos in 2001 and 2008.’
Talk about a lie wrapped in a falsehood, but what else can you expect from “journalists” in the dying atheist West these days? Because 70,000 dead Nigerian Christians are not the result of clashes or tensions but rather genocide.
Godfrey and Lawrence in the earlier photo. Islamic terrorists murdered these 2 Christian young men, to create a propaganda video for recruiting more terrorists.
Poor kid. Godfrey and Lawrence are w/G-d now. And we all know they won’t be the last Christians to be murdered by f’ing muslums in Nigeria while the dying atheist West rots in its moral degeneracy.
It’s what muslims do so nobody should be surprised!!!! Nothing but parasitic feral animals!!! And notice how the criminals always cover their ugly mugs just like the criminal antifa!
If the federal government had created economic opportunities for those tempted to join extremist groups and had returned security to the country, his cousins would not be dead now, Pastor Pofi said.
WRONG! It is the people that need to create jobs and companies. Borrow from a bank or get foreign venture capitalists to fund you. It never works when people are dependent on the government. Muslims don’t care about jobs and the “climate” isn’t making them slaughter Christians. This mindset is what keeps them down and government dependent and an easy target for Muslims. These corrupt governments never seem to filter AID down to the people that need it most… On and on it goes…
You are so right. Foreign Aid is a big part of the problem with the mindset in Africa. Africa is teeming with mineral wealth and other natural resources that the citizens cannot or do not seem to marshal to their benefit.

Sticker asking if Islam is really a religion of peace torn down, called “hateful” and “anti-Muslim”
Obviously true.

Muslims are laughing at us and we deserve it. I recall a Muslim Imam saying “I laugh when I kill” I believe he was imitating his hero pedophet Mohammad.
While we put sanctions on Iran, Trump is sending US troops to protect the evil Saudi regime, who should be using their own military for defense. All the while Muslims are raping/murdering innocents with impunity in Kashmir, in Nigeria and all over the world. We’re on a wild goose chase and Islam keeps making gains.
Meanwhile they’re flooding Europe with millions of Muslim jihadis/rapists posing as refugees. They go on welfare, drain our resources, rape our women/children, run scams to steal even more money from us, take jobs in govt to become our masters and we’re busy getting worked up over trivial nonsense on television.
One day everyone will get a knock on the door from an armed gang of Muslims who’ll threaten us with conversion or death, they’ll threaten to rape/kill our family and burn our homes and businesses and we’ll wonder what the hell were we doing this whole time while this population of monsters were plotting our destruction? If we had sane people in power, we’d be exterminating all the Islamic terrorists out there and planning deportation for the rest of them.
I still have hope in some of my fellow non-Muslims that we’ll have that lightbulb moment when we wake up and start fighting back against Islam before it’s too late but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. I guess Muslims would need to kill thousands of people first until we finally get the message.

When the Christian ex-President of Nigeria called in the South African/Rhodesian mercenaries to clean up Boko Harem in Nigeria (all in their middle age plus a few young ones both white and black racially) they cleaned them up in Nigeria within a month. When the usual retarded leftist journo asked them:”where are the prisoners?”. The leader replied with a straight face: “Oh none of them would surrender” They killed 90% and the remaining 10% fled out of Nigeria. BUT that excluded the “harmless” Fulani herdsmen who are untouchable and it is they who are now coordinating with Boko Harem in Nigeria with the best wishes of their new muslim president.
The point of all this is one that took Christians 500 years to learn: there is no negotiating with islam, there are no truces or treaties respected and they will NEVER meet halfway. Their tactics and strategies are identical to that of communists and you can only beat them the same way: by killing them, by continuing to kill them, all of them, until those left submit and agree honestly and even that is not the end. In a new post above is an excerpt from Raymond Ibrahim that show this.
We have forgotten how to deal with these scum and it is ONLY the code of Hammurabi that works with them and it must be constantly and relentlessly applied to man , woman and child with no exception.
I don’t go much on long pig steaks but sacrificing a few pretend humans (see allah cultists) is okay with me. As for The Talmud/OT I don’t see much evidence of this being obeyed thanks to abrogation and decent morality which is a pity in theory as the cultists need a dire winnowing.
I could hardly believe there was a reference to worshiping Moloch in the Babylonian Talmud — it just goes to show you some Jews were corrupted during the Babylonian diaspora.
Truly the entire geopolitical Death-Cult called Islam- started by the murdering criminal + self proclaimed pedophile rapist Mohammed has been at war with all mankind since inception.
– Folks should ask themselves –
“When has Islam not murdered all others but instead acted Christlike-?”
Again like communism Islam is bent on world domination with no regard for human life = both Satanic in origin…Commies say there is no God, no Sin or Judgement;
Islam teaching allows every ungodly practice Scripture abhors.
People choose who accept following Christ Jesus are 180° the opposite and at the pinnacle of the pyramid of ideologies.

Then there’s Tomas Torquemada (1420-1498), Catholic Spain’s grand inquisitor, and face of the apparently much misunderstood Spanish Inquisition. As historian Thomas Madden explains, “The Inquisition was not born out of desire to crush diversity or oppress people; it was rather an attempt to stop unjust executions. Yes, you read that correctly.” The popular view that Torquemada was an evil fanatic who was determined to force non-Christians to convert, or else, is almost always presented in a vacuum.
For starters, one of the primary reasons that prompted the Spanish crown to institute the Inquisition and appoint Torquemada in the first place is rarely acknowledged: the last bastion of Islam in Granada had been brought under Christian rule as the Reconquista came to a close; the half million Muslim citizenry were given lenient terms, including the right to travel abroad and practice Islam freely. But they abused them, including by launching many hard-to-quell uprisings—several “involving the stoning, dismembering, beheading, impaling, and burning alive of Christians”—and regularly colluded with foreign, mostly Muslim, powers.
When push came to shove, and to ward off suspicion, half-a-million Muslims feigned conversion to Christianity, regularly attended church, baptized their children, and learned all the ins-and-outs of Christian culture, while clandestinely working to subvert Spain, or at least Granada, back to Muslim rule. “With the permission and license that their accursed sect accorded them,” one frustrated Spaniard remarked in reference to the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya, “they could feign any religion outwardly and without sinning, as long as they kept their hearts nevertheless devoted to their false impostor of a prophet. We saw so many of them who died while worshipping the Cross and speaking well of our Catholic Religion yet who were inwardly excellent Muslims” (Sword and Scimitar, p.201-202).
The Inquisition, spearheaded by Torquemada, became the only way to determine, not so much if they were “good” Catholics, but if they were clandestine and subversive Muslims (contrary to popular belief, significantly more Muslims than Jews were tried). Moreover, just as neighboring Muslims had influenced Vlad’s penchant for impalement, so neighboring Muslims influenced Spain’s penchant for inquisitions and deportations. In the preceding centuries, Muslims—particularly the Almoravid and Almohad dynasties—tried countless Spanish converts to Islam by torture, deported them to African slavery, or killed them outright, on the belief that they were not true Muslims but fifth columnists aiding their Christian coreligionists of northern Spain.
