Boko Haram Takfiris seize town in NE Nigeria
2014-08-22
[Iran Press TV] Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
turbans have taken control of a town in Nigeria's northeast as they continue their assaults in the country.

Witnesses and officials said on Thursday that the town of Buni Yadi in Yobe State has fallen into the hands of the turbans while some residents who beat feet from their violence noted that Boko Haram's attack on the town started late in July, with the Takfiris ultimately taking over the main government building there.

Reports said that the bully boy group has raised its flag above the building and have carried out executions.

"As I speak, there are no military in Buni Yadi and locals say that Boko Haram [militants] come and go as they please," Abdullahi Bego, the front man for Yobe's Governor Ibrahim Geidam, said, adding, "So many people from Buni Yadi have fled to the state capital Damaturu."
Residents said the turbans had set up roadblocks and robbed people as they tried to flee.

"I left Buni Yadi yesterday (Wednesday) because it was no longer safe for me and my family," said trader Surajo Muhammad.
The notorious group has repeatedly targeted Nigerian civilians. In February, Boko Haram turbans killed dozens of students at a boarding school in Buni Yadi.
