Someone claiming to be his friend has identified him on Twitter. His nationality is still not known, but it may be Somali. There are not many things on Google about the man, who has not been officially identified by the police. Reports and video show him bragging over the murder, praising God for the death of an alleged British soldier.
UPDATE: Photo here.
Terrible.

ReplyDeleteAs a Nigerian, I am deeply ashamed of his barbaric action. My thoughts go to the family of the dead man.
As a Nigerian, I'm throughly appalled by the senseless and wicked murder of another human being by this fella here. Let the full weight of the law take its course on the criminal and his accomplice. This should not in any way reflect on the rest of Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteI went to school with him. He is British. Shocked!!

DeleteHe got the the 'wrong' message. I think he was referring to the attacks on Boko Haram down here. The boy just plain lost the plot.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, HE lost the plot. I hope people don't take this out on the wrong people, this could easily become about race but he is British, forget his skin colour.
ReplyDeleteThis barbaric act of violence stands condemned. My thoughts and prayers go to the family of the deceased.
ReplyDeleteThe same suffering happens in several countries, specially in Afghan.. Lil kids get their body pieces blown off etc.
DeleteThe facts are here are that this deranged boy in the video was born in Englandand British. He is Black. His parents are Nigerian. He was not born a Muslim. He may have ssiblings who are not Muslims. He changed religion in country. His conversion was in country. It should now be about clerics and their preaching in mosques so that we can save more people from ending up this way for both victims and perpetrators
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your breakdown of facts in the manner with which you have chosen! All facts are correct, so also is the analysis apt! The focus should now be on the teachings of the muslim clerics in mosques in the UK! Afterall, he is British born, British schooled, so it is obvious his views came completely from the UK, albeit that he might have had the aide of the world wide web to gain external facts. Western countries, and indeed all countries of the world need to begin to look inward, & focus less on the enemy without!
DeleteMy heart goes out to the deceased once active British soldier.
This stands as a condemnable act, regardless of whether he is black/muslim/Nigerian or whether his victim is white british! And I'm sure any decent right thinking human being will be appalled by the cold blooded act of violence!
THIS IS VERY SCARY, THINGS ARE ESCALATING, LORD HAVE MERCY. http://mytestimonys.blogspot.com/2013/05/bishop-feb-idahosa-testifies_20.html
ReplyDeleteFirst of all i would like to condemn this inhuman,Barbaric and brutal act by the offender. My sympathy and condolences are with the family of the deceased. As a muslim and Afghan whose Land is being occupied i would like to say that Islam is a peaceful religion and condemns the killings of innocent people regardless of their race religion and colour. I do not think it is right to attach him to any religion let alone islam because before you follow any religion you have to be a human and i am sorry to say this but his looks and acts are more like of a sick animal than a human. My land is occupied and troops have committed crimes there such as cutting the fingers of civilians and sending it as gifts to friends but i do not give myself or any other afghan the right to attack a soldier in this way in a civilised country because Afghanistan is a war zone and UK is not. I believe these men did whatever they did under the influence of drugs. And today i very much hope that we had the death sentence so that could have been hanged. This is the punishment islam will give to criminals like this. Lets all of us pray for peace in the world.Ameen
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. Everywhere humans are being slaughtered, it is done by Islams!
DeleteOh I did not know HITLER was a muslim? No foreign country has been bombed and occupied by a muslim country sir. Who occupies and bombs and kills kids.women and children? if you have a little education you would not have said what you have said.
DeleteHis name is Michael - he would not be a Muslim - they have a selection of names - none of which include Michael - only Islamic names are allowed - no tribal or traditional names - even in Islamic regions - can be legally given to a child.
ReplyDeleteAnother convert - who understood the dark-side of Islam - and acted on it.
The trick is for Muslims - [the real ones] is to understand it's militant side - but not act on it - or to act on it in a controlled way - or under specific instructions.
Notice that when Muslims talk among themselves - it is not the political Left argument that these things have no place in Islam - it is that - it is when these things [militant/violent acts] are permissible.
And with 1 billion people - its struggles to hold it together.
Islam has been around for 1000 years and it spread initially through such acts on its neighbors - and indeed it manages to control its masses through such acts or the threat of them - anyone critical of Islam or tries to leave the faith - are very aware they could suffer the same.
The fear of Islam is - first put on its members and then is used as a way of imposing its will or order on others.
The rules of Islam have been written a long time ago and it is what it is!!
Thankfully humanity is the greater force - and this is where we should focus - on people [period] and not on changing Islam.
Fixing the troubled and unwieldy Islam - is not our work!
At the same time Muslim's fear of Islam should not become our own [thinking aloud on Islam for example]. We should not allow the same conditioning to affect us - and change our way of life - as theirs has already been changed.
I am pleased I have read all these comments, which have been given eloquently, respectfully and peacefully... I Wished that our prime minister would describe the facts as given by you all, instead of saying this act was done to divide us, but they will see it will bring us closer together..... after seeing the English defence league on the news last night using this tragedy as a platform to spout their own extreme racist views... I fear that David Cameron couldn't be further away from the truth and I further fear that these two men will be judged by colour/religion by a minority of mindless individuals and that there will be many innocent victims as a result of these two men's barbaric actions. I feel deeply for the family, friends and fellow soldiers of the killed man, I also feel deeply for the families and friends of the perpetrators of this crime.... all we can do is pray for peace...
ReplyDeleteEverywhere humans are slaughtered and its always Islams.... that is wrong, in this country alone humans are killed (maybe not in masses, maybe not literally slaughtered) but killed non the less.... on the news at moment 5 year old child, murdered by adult white Christian male... last week child murdered by white English adult male.... months ago 16 yr old girl stabbed to death on bus by black adult male... 75yr old asian granddad stabbed repeatedly in back outside his home after leaving mosque... there are good n bad in all races, all religions... it is an individuals choice and responsibility to take information be it read, preached or learnt and digest it in an acceptable way....
ReplyDeleteBut why most people complain that it is islamic is simply because their imams are never bold in condemning such actions in public. It is usually normal for christian preachers to condemn this kind of actions even when a christian is involved(so to say). Come to Nigeria for instance and find out how many moslim clerics condemn boko aram.
DeleteMy view on life is that we are here to do our best for ourselves and others, hopefully add something to the progress of humanity, and we all have the right to live and die in peace. All my thoughts and sympathy go to the young lad who died while going about his own business (military or not) and the people who have been effected by his death. In my opinion religion causes too much pain. These guys are just murderers as any other and because of their actions my disregard of religion has increased, and I imagine recruitment for right wing organisations has also increased.

ReplyDeletePUTTING UK NEWS IN CONTEXT: As Nigerians worldwide, we must speak out and condemn the beheading of a citizen a day before yesterday in the UK. The crime was done by a British citizen and not a Nigerian as speculated. His name does not confirm his nationality. He was born in the UK; never been to Nigeria, was issued a UK birth certificate, holds a British passport. Suddenly they now call him a Nigerian? Michael 'Mujahid' Adeboloja with an accomplice a day before yesterday beheaded a British Soldier in Woolwich, London. But there is Gabriel Agbonlahor playing for Aston Villa;, Andrew Osagie, UK's reigning 800m champion; Lawrence Okoye, British discus record holder (68.24m); Abiodun Oyepitan, British Gold & Silver medalist; Christine Ohuruogu, Beijing Olympic British Gold Medalist; Eniola Aluko, British Olympic female football star; Temi Fagbenle, British Olympic Basketball queen; and several other thousands of British citizens with Nigerian links who are making the UK proud. Looney Mujahid's heinous crime is being made to look like Nigeria is at it again. But in truth, it was a homegrown British boy who beheaded a British soldier a day before yesterday. Nigeria should just be left out of this. It is our collective duty as BRAND NIGERIA to re-broadcast this to educate the world.
ReplyDeleteThis Act Should Not Be Condoned Whether You Are A British Citizen,White Or Blaick,European Or African,Christains Or Muslims..
