Violence begets violence and so it continues – Where are the peace makers? These groups are a disgrace to their respective religions and to the majority of Nigerians who experience and accept religious diversity as a normal part of their lives.

Akhwat Akwop Militia Surfaces in Northern Nigeria…
Vow to stop Boko Harram
huhuadmin
As Nigeria’s leaders battle to stem the tide of the religious sect, Boko Harram, a new militia group, with a mandate to stop "Boko Harram", has surfaced in northern Nigeria. The group, simply referred to as “KHWAT AKWOP” in a statement, made available to huhuonline.com, said,” members of
Boko Haram and other Islamic fundamentalists/ terrorists that you have tried us and not found us wanting”.
“Akhwat Akwop will match you blood for more blood, violence for more violence, and life for more lives. It is better to jaw jaw than to war war. End the madness you have started or we will be forced to permanently end it for you”.
Akhwat Akwop militia group,, whose members appear to be predominantly Christians, stated that it does not recognize the Sultan or any Islamic Traditional Ruler in any way or form.
The militant group further stated that it has identified the Islamic republics of Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, and Sudan as the sponsors of the Islamic onslaughts in northern Nigeria, and that nationals and diplomats of these countries are persona non grata in Nigeria and our commandos have instructions to hunt you down where ever and whenever they get you.
Complete text of Akhwat Akwop statement, reads:
Greetings in the name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
1. Akhwat Akwop condemns in totality the recent charade in the name of Northern Traditional Rulers Council Meeting held recently in Kaduna.
2. Akhwat Akwop does not recognize the Sultan or any Islamic Traditional Ruler in any way or form
3. It is resolved that for the desired peace and harmony to be achieved in the north, the Hausa Fulani must stop encroaching, stealing or laying claims to lands which by any stretch of the imagination does not belong to them.
4. Akhwat Akwop calls on all indigenous communities in northern Nigeria to as a matter of urgency call all Hausa Fulani on their lands to order. The Hausa Fulani must respect the norms, cultures, values and traditions of their host communities.
5. Akhwat Akwop states on unequivocally that the Hausa Fulani onslaught is aimed at
a. Islamizing Christians in the north and Nigeria as a whole
b. Seizing, stealing and acquiring ancestral lands of indigenous communities in the north
c. Destabilizing the government of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
d. Seizing back political power by all means and at all cost.
6. Akhwat Akwop calls on all Christians and indigenous communities in the north and indeed in Nigeria as a whole to most vehemently resist these agents of evil and anarchy.
7. Akhwat Akwop calls on Nigerian Christians to wake up from their slumber “Do not give what is Holy to the Dogs nor cast your pearls to swine lest they trample on them and tear you to pieces” – Mathew 7:9
8. Akhwat Akwop has identified the Islamic republics of Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, and Sudan as the sponsors of the Islamic onslaughts in northern Nigeria.
9. Akhwat Akwop states that nationals and diplomats of these countries are persona non grata in Nigeria and our commandos have instructions to hunt you down where ever and whenever they get you.
10. Akhwat Akwop is stating to members of Boko Haram and other Islamic fundamentalists/ terrorists that you have tried us and not found us wanting. Akhwat Akwop will match you blood for more blood, violence for more violence, and life for more lives. It is better to jaw jaw than to war war. End the madness you have started or we will be forced to permanently end it for you. A word is enough for the wise.
11. Akhwat Akwop states here that should President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan not want to continue as President in 2015, the presidency must and should remain in the Old Eastern Region of Nigeria.
12. Akhwat Akwop calls on all Christians to continue to pray for God’s guidance and protection for Christians in the north, Nigeria and the world at large.
