Boko Haram News Update in Nigeria
62 Muslim Women Arrested In Chad For Wearing Hijab Islamic Veil After Public Ban
Oct 16, 2015 – 62 Muslim Women Arrested In Chad For Wearing Hijab, Religious Veil After Public Ban
Police officials in Chad have arrested 62 women for wearing full veils in public as the country steps up security against extremism following a multiple suicide bombing attack, the police spokesman said Thursday.
Authorities also arrested eight suspected extremists, said police spokesman Paul Manka.
The first major arrests of women for the veil ban have been carried out in the capital, N’djamena, since
Wednesday in line with anti-terrorism measures, he said. Chadian authorities banned wearing full veils or burkas in public places in June to prevent jihadi attacks, especially by Nigerian Islamic extremists Boko Haram.
The extremist group used women and children to carry out five suicide bombings in a village near Lake Chad Saturday, killing at least 36 people.
Police also arrested eight suspected jihadis in the operation, Manka said.
The women will be released after paying a 100,000 CFA ($170) fine, he said, adding that if they are repeatedly arrested they will be charged with complicity with jihadis.
Boko Haram has used dozens of girls and women in recent suicide bombings in Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger, raising fears it is using kidnap victims to target countries that have pledged to contribute to a regional force to combat the insurgents.
Boko Haram’s six-year-old uprising has left an estimated 20,000 people dead, according to Amnesty International.

It is a good descision to ban women putting on hijab in public places,at least they will not be able to conceal their explosives to perpetrate their suicide bombing

Firstly, all thanks to THE ALIMIGHTY,LORD of the worlds….its unfortunate that disguished modernization had crippled our senses of reasoning for when a woman dresses properly, covers up all the curves, and sensual part of the “femmine” body, ee tend to criticize, scrutinize and curse out the individuals in questions, and most annoyingly the religion which preaches peace, MODESTY, ethics…..as opposed to the roman empired recarved, remolded, and rewritten book called the bible:
CHECK THIS OUT….
1. English standard version
2. New American standard bible
3. Holman Christian standard bible
4. King james bible
5.International standard version
6. Net bible
7. Jubilee bible 2000
8. King james 2000 bible
9. Darby bible translation
10. Douay-t bible
The list is endless.
I live in the state of texas…houston precisely, and gay marriages get legalized within an heart beat, gay pastors everywhere, and you sit numbly in a f.cking third world country(jungle, as reffered to by americans themselves) and condemn nothing you know jack about.
The Bin laden issue: As any one ever ask themselves the relationship btw george bush and the royal bon laden.Bin laden was raised right here in texas, mentored, tutored and trained by the innocently looking george bush, of which was issued a gift of a OIL WELL MINE after series of successful shady deals he master minded with the gullible bin laden. Ooooh….switched gears…that’s just to give an insight into jungle minded folks out there.
Get ur facts, do not stereotype, and step up ur adventure games, don’t just sit ur arses over there and spit out crab…
Well the next time u get on streets….WEAR tensil blouse string on bump shorts…after all its bend down select.lolzzzz.
