This BBC report is not very satisfactory, as it leaves many questions unanswered. Did any of the prisoners attempting to escape succeed? Who were the 21 people killed? Anyway, note that the BBC goes out of its way to say that “UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay said earlier this month that human rights violations by Nigerian security forces were creating ‘fertile ground for Boko Haram to cultivate new recruits,'” without bothering to mention the many, many grotesque human rights abuses that the Boko Haram jihadists have perpetrated.
“Nigeria ‘attempted jailbreak’ leaves more than 20 dead,” from the BBC, March 30:
Twenty-one people have been killed in an attempt to escape from detention at the headquarters of Nigeria’s secret police in the capital Abuja.
Police said the trouble started when a prisoner beat a guard with his handcuffs in an attempt to escape.
Local media say many of the police detainees are suspected members of the Islamist group Boko Haram.The group has waged a violent four-year campaign to install a radical form of Islam in the north.
Thousands have been killed since the conflict started in 2009.
It is unclear whether all of those killed during Sunday’s unrest are prisoners.
A spokeswoman for the State Security Services, Marilyn Ogar, said two service personnel had been seriously injured in the incident.
Guards at the facility in Abuja opened fire after the attempted escape of one prisoner, she said.
The army was deployed to the area, which is near the presidential villa.
‘New recruits’The Nigerian president’s spokesman Reuben Abati described the incident as an “attempted jailbreak” in a post on Twitter.
He said the situation was under control and that President Goodluck Jonathan was safe and well.
Boko Haram attacks have increased during the first three months of 2014, leaving hundreds of people dead.
UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay said earlier this month that human rights violations by Nigerian security forces were creating “fertile ground for Boko Haram to cultivate new recruits”.
Boko Haram was founded in Maiduguri in 2009. It wants northern Nigeria to become an Islamic state.

I doubt there are armed vicious gangs in Canada quite willing to kill a police officer and his family once they can identify him.

After Syria, the most deadliest conflict on Earth, and the liberal media is now finally starting to notice by promptly blaming the Nigerian forces for trying to anything to stop the islamic mass murderers Boko Haram. As amnesty international is now reporting
Killing hundreds of Boko Haram militants will do nothing to stop the violence. Boko Haram employs thousands of expendable shock troops whose lives were unimportant.
Boko Haram’s criminal empire is sophisticated as it is extensive. They pay better than the Nigerian forces and are better armed. They make millions by extortion, sex trafficking, bank robberies and looting.

For clarifications, I am Nogerian and live in Abuja. The 21 dead people were all terrorists who had conspired to escape. The ring leader overpowered a Secret Service handler who supervised their feeding early Sunday Monday at about 6:30am and took possession of his Uzi riffle with 90 rounds of ammunition.
He freed other suspects and they all ran around in several direction in the vast compound housing the Department of State Security Services Head Quarters situated right behind the Presidential Villa in Maitama, Abuja.
The other security operatives did the best thing according to their training manual by taking secure positions and shot sporadically into the air to warn off other terrorists who may be attempting to attack from outside in the false believe that the fortress would be empty or poorly secured on a Sunday Morning.
The armed escapee kept shooting like they all do even in Maiduguri because they are poorly trained, they set their riffle on ‘rapid’ and just enjoy the sound of the bullets rushing out wastefully and aimlessly hing it will hit and maim as many Christians and soldiers or police officers as possible.
Moslems usually don’t fight to live, they fight to die and leave the law enforcements with little choice than shoot to kill. They attempted yo scale the security perimeter fence and had to be gunned down one after the other because they refused to heed to warnings to not do that. These terrorists are mostly illiterate moslems who speak no word of the English language and have been trained to hate and kill and treat the authority with contempt and scorn.
The safety of the adjoining civilian neighborhood was of paramount importance because their is no knowing what such hate-filled terrorists would do to unarmed civilians if they were treated with kids glove in the name of ‘human rights. It took over three hours for the security operatives to bring the situation under control and back up was provided by the Nigerian Army from a cantonment which was a stone throw away from the security facility while the police and air force also provided air cover to contain the suicidal escapees.
The terrorists never yielded to a call to surrender so they had to be liquidated incase somebody is attempting to query, ‘why kill 21 of them?’ Besides why should the world demand for the terrorists what they themselves have denied to others- ‘life’?
I personally always wonder why take prisoners? Why not send them to mohammed’s heaven to have a feast with their 72 nubile virgins.

Muslim :: Book 32 : Hadith 6219
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Don’t nurse grudge and don’t bid him out for raising the price and don’t nurse aversion or enmity and don’t enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honors.

60: 9. It is only as regards those who fought against you on account of religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and helped to drive you out, that Allah forbids you to befriend them. And whosoever will befriend them, then such are the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers those who disobey Allah).
42: 42. The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress men and wrongly rebel in the earth, for such there will be a painful torment.
9: 12. But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism then fight (you) the leaders of disbelief (chiefs of Quraish – pagans of Makah) – for surely their oaths are nothing to them – so that they may stop (evil actions).
9:13. Will you not fight a people who have violated their oaths (pagans of Makah) and intended to expel the Messenger, while they did attack you first? Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers.
4: 75. And what is wrong with you that you fight not in the Cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors; and rise for us from You one who will protect, and rise for us from You one who will help.”
5: 33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.

themselves.[ avenge themselves in a just manner, restoring their rights and not

Not necessarily. And what shabeer will not tell us is that non-Muslims are considered to be worth much less than Muslims, and that no Muslim should ever be executed for murdering an Infidel.
And if Muslims slaughter Infidels in the course of Jihad, then no compensation is necessary.

Pious Muslims regard all Infidels as committing “mischief” by dint of their not having converted to Islam. So, they are all fair game.
Moreover, though the handy doctrine of “Takfir”, any Muslim who is “insufficiently Islamic” or a “hypocrite” may also be considered a virtual “apostate”, and so an ipso fact infidel as well—and hence, also fair game.

Part of what pious Muslims regard as “oppression” is creating an obstacle to the imposition of Shari’ah law, or for Infidels failing to live as dhimmi slaves to supremacist Muslims.
And notice that after trying to whitewash Islam, shabeer then goes on to rant about Jihad and crucifixion? Lovely…
