“Fight against those do not believe in Allah or the last day, and do not forbid what Allah and his messenger have forbidden, and do not follow the religion of truth, even if they are among the people of the book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“Terrorists Take Over Several Communities In Niger State, Set Up Toll Gate, Collect Levies From Farmers, Residents,” Sahara Reporters, January 2, 2024:
They have so far imposed restriction on free movement of goods and persons, forcing people to pay levies before doing so, residents said.
Terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, have again carved out a territory in Nigeria’s Niger State, imposing taxes on residents and some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
The bandits have reportedly occupied Dogon-Dawa, Kurege, Kangarewa and Mangoro communities among several others; “governing” the entire areas according to their own rules.
They have so far imposed restriction on free movement of goods and persons, forcing people to pay levies before doing so, residents said.
“Last Sunday we were forced to cough out N3.5million levy, before the vehicles conveying our luggage were allowed to leave,” a displaced person told journalists.
The bandits have also imposed levy on crops, forcing farmers to pay before they would be allowed to harvest farm produces.
“The situation has worsened such that even IDPs who want to leave the area have to pay certain levy before they can go.
“They (bandits) have turned the area into their own territory, operating unchallenged,” according to a local source.
Vehicles exiting the area are charged to pay N200,000 to N300,000. In some cases three vehicles combined are compelled to pay N1million before leaving….

The UN, Head of the Commonwealth, Pope, and the Archbishop of Canterbury should all write to the President of Nigeria that the imposition of these measures must be stopped , monies repaid and not be repeated. But the spineless will not doubt do or say NOTHING

Will not Jesus say, as He did to his enemies when a Man on earth, “You are from your father the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father.”
And, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.”
Everyday from nigeria…if there ever was a “killing field” it’s that sorry mozlum-run country. There have been so many “killing fields.”
