This latest attack on the school comes on the heels of a warning by Boko Haram of further jihad massacres after the recent slaughter of 110 farmers, and an admission by Governor Kayode Fayemi of Nigeria’s Ekiti State that the military is overwhelmed.
Boko Haram is expanding rapidly in Nigeria as it seeks to impose Sharia across the country. A Christian genocide continues, while the UN and international community at large continues to be silent about the matter, amid routine lamentations about “Islamophobia.”
“Terror group Boko Haram claims abduction of over 330 Nigerian students,” Business Standard, December 16, 2020:
Boko Haram on Tuesday (local time) claimed responsibility for the abduction of over 330 Nigerian students.
A man claiming to be a leader of Boko Haram said the terror group was responsible for kidnapping scores of schoolboys in northwestern Nigeria on Friday, according to a short audio message shared with Nigerian media and reviewed by CNN.
“I am Abubakar Shekau and our brothers are behind the kidnapping in Katsina,” said the man. Abubakar Shekau is both the spiritual head and supreme commander of the terror group. While CNN has not been able to independently verify the authenticity of the message, a state government spokesman has informed that about 337 students are still unaccounted for after an attack on the Government Science Secondary School Kankara.
“The message claimed that Boko Haram had targeted the school because of the group’s long-held aim to stop “western” education in northern Nigeria, but a government official told CNN on Monday that the kidnappers had been in touch with a teacher of the school, raising the prospect of a ransom negotiation,” CNN said.
Boko Haram operates in the western and central African region. It is known to oppose western civilisation model of education and seeks the introduction of sharia law in Nigeria….

With all of the division in the country now I don’t suppose most of us are paying attention to things like this. I wonder why we rarely hear any news about these things. A very sad thing. To go around murdering farmers and others who are just trying to live. Why do they do these terrible things? Very ignorant and violent people.

Yes, they claim this is “not islam,” but don’t do anything to try to stop what is being done in the name of islam. They praise their “heroes” for committing murder against teachers, people on the street, etc., but mass murder by groups such as isis, boko haram, al shabab, is “not islam.” They just never condemn it.
Because behind closed doors, they praise it too as a means of taking over the whole world for satan.

Nigeria: 137 students missing, jihad group Boko Haram claims it abducted over 330
…………………..
Yet this is largely ignored in the West. Whatever happened to “Bring Back Our Girls”?
Infidel says
At this point, Nigeria is every bit as much a failed state as Somalia or today’s Pakistan

Hey Boko – if your ideas are so great and wonderful why do you have to kidnap people? Idiots

This is orthodox Islam–the “Prophet” Muhammed also kidnapped victims.

Yes this is the LOVING islam in full action. Total violence and destruction by a group of thugs. These islamic followers are nothing but gangsters looting, rape, murder and intimidation what a loving peaceful religion.
If you are a member of the Islamic religion and you do not speak out against these crimes you are supporting them and encouraging this violence in the name of your religion. That being said, Islam appears to be the religion of hate and violence against humanity. Only islamic followers can change that image.
