The fundamentalists feared being killed in battle and that wives could again marry the "infidels". Killing them was the "safest" method to avoid any possible contact with "Godless".
The regular military of Nigeria, together with the government troops of Cameroon and Chad, in recent weeks have achieved enormous successes against the insurgents. The unarmed civilians, however, continue to be victims of these criminals.
The massacre occurred before the reconquest of Bama, a former Haram stronghold, which took place last Monday.
The insurgents, noting the impossibility of opposing an advance of professional soldiers, fled to the nearby town of Gwoza. But before they escaped, they started a real massacre.
According to the first reconstructions, the women were killed ten days ago. It is not possible to verify the exact number of victims, but the city is littered with corpses.
Bama fell into the hands of the Harams last September. A few days later, the militiamen married tens of women with the forces.
According to the madness that drives the Harams, "if a warrior kills his own wife, he will remain faithful to them until their next encounter in heaven".
Executions began after the ultimatum presented by regular troops to the city commander. The latter, considering certain defeat, ordered the massacre before the escape.
The next 28 March in Nigeria will be held the elections for the renewal of the presidential office, today represented by the twisted and ambiguous Goodluck Jonathan (and on him the passages of Senator John McCain are famous "I would never treat or sit down to talk with one so.If it were up to me I would have sent the Seal and eliminated the scum Haram long ago ").
The Islamic uprising in Nigeria broke out in the 2009, causing more victims than 13000.
