Don’t use force to rescue us, kidnapped forestry college students plead with govt

Kidnapped students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanization Kaduna, have appealed to the Government not to use force to rescue them as their captors warned that such moves would lead to the killing of all the students.

Benson Emmanuel, one of the students who spoke in a video that went viral on Saturday, said that they were surrounded by the gunmen who threatened that none of them would leave alive once the security agents attempt to rescue them by force.

Emmanuel, who sat on the ground together with the other abductees, both males and females, said they needed urgent help as all of then were faced with health issues. “They have surrounded us, saying anybody who comes to rescue us by force, they are going to take our lives,” he said.

He said the students were injured badly and appealed to the government not to waste much time in rescuing them from the gunmen.

They have bad mind against us, we are appealing to government to settle this early” he said.

Similarly, a female student also spoke in Hausa, repeated what Emmanuel had said in the video. The students looked so dejected and terrified in the video, with no tops but only trousers for the males and wrappers for the females.

The gunmen whose heads were concealed in the recording were seen in military uniform pointing their guns at the students, as they were forced to speak.

In another video, the students were recorded crying and begging for leniency, as some of the gunmen moved around flogging them with whips.

They were also appealing to the authorities to rescue them, amidst sobs. The students were all gathered in a bush with fewer trees or vegetation cover.

The gunmen were speaking in Hausa language, intermittently, which was heavily accented and suggested they might be from the neighbouring countries.

Islam, the religion of the Father of Lies.

Muhammad met Satan in that cave, not any angel of Abraham’s God.

As Jesus said, “By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”

May not be her actual sentiments but advancing what the terrorists told her to say . . . at any rate, Entebbe (in a comparative sense only) repeat?

Why, some of the worst atrocities have been committed by those that deny God.

For proof, see the close to 100 million who were murdered by communists in the last century alone.

No one here at FR is "denying anything."

In my case, I'm just still sitting here, waiting for incontrovertible forensic-grade evidence strung together with impeccable logical argumentation to convince me.

You tell me there's a teakettle in orbit around Saturn, and that I won't be "saved" unless I embrace your statement; I respond with "I can't disprove your assertion - But you have yet to convince me that what you claim is true."

Meanwhile, another guy is standing there, averring that there's a teakettle in orbit around Golub (Mormons), and other one claiming there's a teakettle in orbit around Mercury (Hindus) - which one am I to believe? Am I to be damned because there are hundreds of different religions and sects competing for my approval?

Regards,

Why are you sending me this? I wasn’t making any claim except the evil inherent in Islam, which commands violence against non-Muslims.

The students in the story are being held captive by Muslim terrorists, or, better put, Islamic believers following the edicts of Mohammad.

They are not leaving alive if a try to rescue them is not made either. One thing actually two things, they can count on happening to them whether they be male or female: 1.) They will be repeatedly raped. 2,) Their heads will be cut off.

Why people [infidels] won't learn to stay far away from any muslin is beyond me. No good thing comes from it[associating with a muslim] many people [infidels] have learned this fact late in their lives [when the cutting edge of the knife reaches their spinal cord at the back of their necks] too late.

But yet they persist. I suppose it is like searching for The Fountain of Youth or El Dorato. They want to be the one to find it. Instead they join the mounting stack of corpses.

Because I was replying to a remark which had actually been directed to you (by SoConPubbie).

I thought that common courtesy demanded that I include you in the distribution list.
