As a strategy to have their way and manipulate the government, they kidnap prominent people from time to time. Irrespective of negotiations which never works out and always has its controversies, sparing the lives of their victims is never assured, it is strictly at their discretion. The Boko Haram rebels are insistent on the establishment of a global religion – Islam; and they go about this by any available violent way possible. On the other hand, as much as the Boko Haram group claim to be fighting for “Allah”, the sect kills both Christians and Muslims alike, thus it is not clear yet what their drive and purpose really is. Perhaps the religious excuse is serving as a camouflage to obtain a certain undisclosed agenda.
Religion is a very dicey and sensitive subject, enough to spark off endless/ageless fights and creating generational enemies. Boko Haram is a living evidence of this. As their name implies – “Western education is sin”, they extend their hatred of the western culture to Christianity and virtually everything from the west. With this, it is clear why they take pleasure in kidnapping one expatriate after another; bombing schools and churches; killing Christians and their very own fellow worshipers whom they tag infidels probably for disapproving of their bloody tactics.
Latest discovery shows that the BH sect has split into several factions as a leader of any faction can decide to execute an operation based on their faction’s purpose. it has not yet been established if they all seek support and permission from the tutelage of the main group led by Shekau. Either way, their modes of operation are all the same, they kidnap, kill and destroy. Another puzzle to the people is the source of their funds and support since they clearly have an efficient network for supply of arms and ammunition. While there are looming suspicions of possible sponsorship from Prominent Nigerians or ISIS affiliates, their most common strategy is to kidnap high-class Africans and foreigners, thereby taking advantage of the situation and making demands from foreign and African governments. These are their most eminent and daring kidnaps so far:
10. Moulin Fournier Family
On the 19th of February, 2013, a french family of seven including 4 children were abducted by the BH sect and held hostage for 2 months. According to BBC News, the family was returning from a holiday in Waza National Park, Cameroon (where they lived) when they were stopped and kidnapped by the rebels who later relocated them to a hideout in Nigeria. The father of the children, Tanguy Moulin-Fournier was a staff of a French energy company in Yaounde, GDF Suez. With the collaboration of the French government, the hostages were set free at the Cameroon-Nigerian border.
