Hostage-taking is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
“Police rescue 259 from Ibadan house of horror,” Punch, November 5, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Personnel of the Oyo State Police Command, on Monday, stormed an illegal detention centre at a mosque in the Ojoo area of Ibadan, and rescued 259 persons being held hostage there.
The victims were made up of 191 males, 34 females, 11 children, and 23 sick persons.
It was gathered that the victims had been in chains for between two and 10 years.
The police arrested nine suspects during the raid, including the owner of the centre.
PUNCH Metro findings showed that many such centres had been in existence in the city for several years, with clerics using them as corrective homes for recalcitrant persons.
The state Commissioner of Police, Shina Olukolu, who led the police team to the centre, said a 17-year-old escapee from a holding facility in another part of Ibadan hinted the command about the existence of the centre.
The commissioner stated that the escapee mentioned the Oloore mosque in Ojoo as another facility used for holding the victims against their will.
According to him, on arrival at the mosque, the victims recounted their harrowing experience, stating that some of them had been held hostage for up to 10 years.
Olukolu said, “The young man said the victims were being maltreated and were poorly fed; being treated like slaves and engaged in forced labour; and oftentimes, their deaths were not reported to anybody…

Or, in other words, for not being muslim enough…

Spot on, Angemon.

So, were any of the children part of those who were “sick persons”? How many of the children were female? How many had been raped?
Whether or not they were made to slave, not given enough food, etc., they were “maltreated” just because they were held hostage. Holding someone against their will is a crime in the U.S. even if that one is given enough food, not made to work, not abused in other ways, etc. Just for being held hostage.
Will those holding the hostages face any real punishment? Nigerian moslims who torture, murder, and destroy the property of, Christians, don’t seem to face any punishment at all.
Ned Kelly says
my guess is ALL the females would have been raped, of all ages.

How can someone do it to other people? 🙁

Enslaving and abusing Infidels or the “insufficiently Islamic” is perfectly Halal.
David says
Simple: by being a muslim. Islam absolves them of any moral responsibility, so they behave like monsters.
Those poor people in the photo. Like concentration camp victims.
Islam is totally disgusting. This story needs to widely publicised, but it most likely won’t be.
don vito says
The foundation of modern slavery. One of the reasons for “endless” or “forever” war. islamic imperialism and tyranny

Nigeria: 259 people found held hostage in mosque, some held for 10 years
…………….
Just horrifying. And many of the victim’s families turned them over for torture and slavery for not being Islamic enough.

Why is much of Africa unable to join the civilized world? It’s not oppression from Whites. It’s not colonialism. It’s violence by Muslims.
Giacomo Latta says
Ibadan is not exactly close to a border with a muslim country. Is that why it was so easy to sequester so many people without any loved ones putting two and two together? You need to wake up too, Nigeria.
gravenimage says
But Nigeria is half Muslim, and has a Muslim president.
toomanyhobbies says
it is time to play cowboys and muslims yet?
My first thought is 259 people in one building and they never fought to get away?
Linda says
Fight to get away? They are chained and starved…
underbed cat says
I wonder what the woman of the View would say if they read this story. Wrapping their head around the idea that a “mosque” would hold 259 Nigerian citizens as prisoners in chains, and appearing to be nearly starved. How islamophobic and racist to even speak this is it just another lie, I imagine they would say it is a radical mosque. Would they even know much about a mosque or the teachings other than what is the deception that there is not link to terrorism when it is actually the doctrine taught.? They can have weapons but they would never use them…? They know about “Richard Spencer,” referred to as a white supremacist, he supports a democratic candidate” they” seem to think is a Russian bot, or so it goes, the idea first speculated by Hillary. comments.. Confusion mounts who is racist….who is Russian who is not a patriot…and horrible Trump. So I did not know much about Nigeria or it’s population, at one time a nearly 50/50 split of Christians, some ten years ago, some Hindu and 49 % Muslims…. I think I got it. Being a reader of Jihad Watch and Robert Spencer who is not a racist and daily reading the new reports of world wide riots. and terrorism…in Nigeria, sometimes in Kenya, Somalia and across northern /southern Africa it seems that the statistics have been changing fast and once again the Islamic movement is spreading altering the population and so who were these Nigerians (?) , muslims, Christians or other, why were they captured yet to be determined and as the article explains the Imam has the choice what to do. So he kept some of them nearly alive, some already parished for ten years, changed and did not behead them and there are survivors. So it looks like Nigeria has or will be been taken….and the Churches with Christians, any other reilgions will suffer or have been. At least 259 were rescued. So mentally tired of the effectivness of deception of the religion of peace that has politicians, and others supporting their mission because they were effective in hiding the commands of the Quran. The commands and the actions that could be stopped if the world stopped supporting fantasy Islam and the conquest of cultures and minds and slaughter worldwide. It is not radical it is Islam. But we know it here, just wonder when the View will know or does it even matter.
Garfield says
When will islam be recognized as the psychopathic death cult that it is?
The ideology that turns out violent, supremacist, throat slashing, wife beating rapist freaks is not a religion. Its a death cult.
David says
Garfield. tell it to the people!. This ghastly picture should be put on giant billboards everywhere, with a caption: “Nothing to do with Islam? EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM!!”
don vito says
many have done so (recognizing), I remember when Theo Van Gogh was murdered in the Netherlands and who murdered him and why he was murdered. Many started discerning truth from deceit, but not enough. The drive-by media began covering up and shilling for islam, labeling truth seekers as bigots. It still an up hill struggle for victory.

All too true, Don.
