Photo for "From Boko Haram To Christian Heaven: How Former 'Islamic Warrior' Had Change of Heart"

His physique could hardly fit into the temperament
of his persuasion. He is frail, he talks slowly and
you would have no qualms passing him off as one
naïve, harmless young man. But Nasir Isiaku, 27,
used to have zealous hatred for Christians. He
talked of himself as an Islamic warrior who
delighted in chopping off people's heads with a
stroke of his dagger. However, all of that was,
according to him, up until he made a turnaround in
a most dramatic way...
Nasir Isiaku is from Gusau in Zamfara State. He said,
while still in the group, he killed many Christians when
he reigned as second-in-command to a terrorist group
that wages war against non-Muslims in northern
Nigeria. The group, Shitte , is a Boko Haram franchise.
"Our own group is called Shitte but we have the same
agenda with the Boko Haram sect. You people have
only been hearing of Boko Haram, but there are other
deadly Islamic groups who are also part of Boko
Haram sect," he said, adding: "Whenever we heard
that any of the sects was fighting Christians, we
always joined them."
He was speaking to a gathering of Christians recently
of his activities as a member of the terror group. He
also told of how he renounced what he called 'the
cult' where he had to drink his victims' blood so their
ghosts would not appear to him in dreams.
This is Isiaku's testimony as he told it himself...
"I joined the Bafarawa Arabic Islamic Centre in 2010
and they were teaching us Arabic language. Every
year, we take about 20 people to Iran for special
training because our zonal headquarters is in Iran. Our
own group is called Shitte but we have the same
agenda with the Boko Haram sect. You people have
only been hearing of Boko Haram, but there are other
deadly Islamic groups that are also part of Boko
Haram sect. I can count up to six of them that I'm
very much aware of. Whenever we heard that any of
the sects was fighting Christians, we always joined
them. My own group has been an Islamic movement
for a long time, even before I was born. It reigned in
the north during the Abacha military regime and it has
many branches in the north. We are in major northern
states such as Kastina, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kano,
Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Zaria among others.
"Sometimes, when we want to wreak havoc on
Christians, we hire our own bus because we have our
own weapons, which we use against the Christians. We
usually join the Boko Haram sect whenever they
wanted to fight the Christians or the soldiers because
we usually hear that soldiers kill our Boko Haram
brothers in Maiduguri, Yobe and Potiskum.
"I used to be one of the most trusted hands in the
group because I was a very obedient and loyal
follower. I had my own secret office where I received
delegates from our sponsors whenever our leader
wasn't around and where I attend to the needs of any
of our members.
"This is why I didn't participate in many of our attacks
against the Christians or the soldiers because I used to
take care of the home front. Our leaders usually
psyched us up, they brainwashed us to fight against
Christians because they are enemies of Allah. They
taught us that the more Christians we were able to
kill, the more our chances of entering Alijonan
(heaven) .

"Many of our trainings hold in the night, around
10pm. There is a bush around the school where we
usually go for trainings.
"Some aspects of the training we receive are not
ordinary; we used to drink what one could call
spiritual water because it is not ordinary water. We
also used to receive strange visitors who were not
equally ordinary humans. We receive the visitors in a
strange way, our leaders used to summon them: they
used to instruct us to recite some passages in the
Quran and whenever we do that, the visitors would
appear to us during those unholy hours. They could
come in three or four. They appeared like humans but
they are not humans. We know they are not humans.
They usually fortify us with charms for the task before
us. They used to instruct us to be strong and fight.
"Our leaders also used to render a lot of assistance to
support our cause. They bring a lot of money in a pick
up van and asked us to use the money to buy guns.
Many of our supplies come from the zonal
headquarters and sometimes, there is a popular
Bayelsa man who is, though a Christian, supporting
our cause in cash and kind. I can't remember his
name now. The Bayelsa man gave us money and also
supplied us with weapons for the mission.
"I am the second in command in my camp in our
group, and whenever our president travels to the
headquarters in Iran, I used to coordinate the group
and receive our sponsors on his behalf. This is why I
am able to sit with the sponsors and know what
happens.
"We had vowed to first kill all Christians in Kaduna
before dealing with others in the north. Whenever we
take the spiritual water, we become more daring to do
any evil. It makes us more dangerous and if we were
annoyed at such moment, we could kill. The water
also fortifies us against gunshots. When we have taken
it, bullets will not harm us. Also, we get mystery ring
from our leaders. About eight of us were selected for
the ring, and that ring provides almost anything we
asked from it. It is like a personal power for us.
"I can't recall the number of people I have killed. I
don't use gun most times. We usually use guns to
shoot people on the leg. If we ask a victim: 'Will you
become a Muslim or not?' and he or she refuses, we
slaughter the victim like a goat. And after killing the
victim, we collect his or her blood in a very small cup
and then drink it. After drinking the blood, the victim's
ghost could not hunt us in dreams. That is what our
leaders told us. And indeed, once we taste the blood
of people we kill, we will not see them in our dreams.
"Sometimes, when we don't feel like drinking the
blood from the cup, we used our fingers to touch the
victim's blood and taste it. It will still prevent ghost of
victim from hunting us in dreams.
"We used to kill Christians because we believe that by
killing them, we will enter heaven at death. Our
leaders used a Quranic passage that seems to support
our action (recites some Quranic lines) . In
interpretation, the passage says: "O you believers, you
should not be friendly with your enemies." 'Believers'
here means we, the Muslims and 'enemies' are the
Christians.
"The leaders of our group and the sponsors are many.
Our sponsors are wealthy Nigerians. They are in
government, and many are past Nigerian leaders. If I
mention their names, you would think I am just telling
lies. We have governors, senators who sponsor us
heavily. Our sponsors are many (names mentioned are
withheld) . You wouldn't believe some of them are
really part of us. We usually invite them to the
graduation of the students in the school. That is when
many know them as part of us.
"We have days we go to town to preach and win more
members. On such days, we add a red cap to our
white T-Shirt and trousers. On another occasion when
we put on black caps, it means we won't fight.
"We have infiltrated the Nigerian forces. We have our
members in the police and army. Those members help
us a lot whenever we want to fight.
"However, we are very secretive, my blood brother
who was not a member didn't know I was part of the
sect. I kept my association with the sect secret from
people close to me who don't share our views about
Christians. My father loved me very well.
"Right from the time we attended Chachangi School, a
lower school in my place, our Islamic instructors had
been drumming it into our ears that we should tighten
our belts to fight the Christians. They instructed us to
always be armed, either with knife or gun. They even
told us to have our own gun and get license for it.
"My own area in Kaduna is Torumada, it is a haven for
many Islamic terrorists in Nigeria. Before I joined the
Shiite school, I took part in several fights in which we
massacred many Christians. The Christians in Sokoto
are most vulnerable to attacks from our people
because they are just within our reach, but they have
also been very lucky because a major Islamic cleric in
the state is always pleading that we shouldn't touch
them.
"We actually found out many places in Sokoto where
Christians are living. One of them is Ota Road, but in
order to respect our Islamic cleric, we haven't touched
them.
"Boko Haram has their men trained in Afganistan. I
don't know if you have been hearing about the
Taliban, those who sacrifice their lives through suicide
bombing. The Talibans are the ones who are training
Boko Haram men. I know Boko Haram usually have
about 60 men who go for training in Afganistan. They
train them on how to go on suicide bombing, make
their own bombs and fight and do other dangerous
things. They also provide them with sophisticated
weapons such as bombs and all that.
"Since I gave my life to Christ, I have been getting
several attacks from the cult. There was a Thursday
evening in Sokoto, I was supposed to go to vigil with a
roommate named brother Matthew. He asked me to
go with him but I declined, saying I was tired. When it
was well into the night, I suddenly heard a loud,
disturbing knock on the door. The voice that called out
to me resembled that of brother Matthew. It said that
I should open the door. The man actually spoke in
Hausa, asking me to open up for him, but something
pulled me back. My heart pounded and I suddenly
realized it could be an impostor coming to attack me.
But then, I couldn't pray, all I could only mutter was
Holy Ghost fire! I said this repeatedly till the stranger
disappeared. And then I heard the barking of a dog
from somewhere in the neighourhood.
"Eventually, when the real Matthew came from church
and asked for the door to be opened, I became
hysterical with him. I demanded his explanations for
the earlier visit but he said it wasn't him. Initially I
didn't believe him. It took the explanation of another
brother who confirmed that he was actually in the
church all through the night for me to let things be. I
could have killed him.
"Before the attack, I had been keeping indoors. I
couldn't go out just anyhow because I knew members
of the group would be looking for me.
"So, after that incident, my pastor decided to take me
to his village, away from the area where everyone
knew me.
"It is only God that can stop the war Boko Haram and
other Islamic religious sects have started against the
Christians in Nigeria. I thank God that I am out and
now a Christian. The frank advice I can offer to all
Christians is that they should start securing their own
weapons, tighten their belts and prepare for war. The
terrorist sects are prepared for war already. I am just
looking at all Christians in Nigeria as dead people
because of the level of preparations the sects have
made.
"It was on March 6, that I had a strange encounter
that turned me into a completely different person. We
usually go for our preaching on Fridays and Saturdays.
I had just returned from one of such outings in
Bodinga Local Government Area of Sokoto State, it was
around 3pm. I was about to start taking ablution for
the evening prayers when it happened. A man in
pure, resplendent white attire just appeared to me.
And once I saw him I was scared and dropped the
small keg of water and ran off to my office. My people
were asking me and I told them that I saw a man in
white but they said they didn't see anybody and even
when I went back to the spot where I had seen the
man, he was no longer there.
"Then that night when I slept, the strange man in
white came to me again. He was holding a stick and
then I was frightened and I shouted and woke up with
a start. My people rushed to me and said I was having
a nightmare. Our leader said that the man in white
must be an evil one. They took me to a powerful
Mallam in Gombe who did some prayers for me to
ward off the evil man in white. After the prayers, the
Mallam assured me that nothing would happen to me
and I returned to our base. But then when I slept
again the following night, the same man in white
appeared to me again and this time, he spoke to me.
He said: 'God has chosen you'. He said that three
times and I again woke up with a start and that again
alarmed my people. But when they asked what
happened to me, I lied to them that there was
nothing.
"When it was morning, I took my bath and deliberately
went to see a barber friend who is a Christian. After
he had finished cutting my hair, I opened up to him. I
told him about my encounter with the strange old
man in white and he said that the man must be God
reaching out to me. I asked him why God would want
to reach out to me. He then asked me if I was ready
to give my life to Christ and serve God and
immediately I said yes. I was even surprised at the
way I simply took it.
"Since I started fellowshipping with the church, I have
become a different being. The experience was like I
had a thorough bathe, which washed off all impurities
like diseases and all that. Before the experience, I
used to walk around like one afflicted with insanity,
but now, I am more relaxed and composed. I now
take time to take care of myself and even have inner
peace. I used to live on drugs but now, I don't take
drugs any longer. I feel healthy.
"It is not easy to quite the brotherhood because we
undergo terrible and diabolic initiation process that
hardened us. It is only by God's touch that anyone
one could renounce the group. When I was still there
a certain high profile member of the Boko Haram sect,
named Shuaib, renounced the group. I was part of
many others who personally swore that we would
ensure that we skin Shuaib alive if we see him
anywhere.
"But I want to tell my colleagues who are still in it to
have a change of heart. I now realize that killing
Christians would not take me to heaven; instead, it
will take me to hell. And I'm ready to live a good life
as a Christian."
