This respected terrorist imam in Nigeria has offered 2 million naira bounty for the head of a pastor over a perceived insult. (His full comment below).
Here’s an in depth psychological analysis—
The speaker exhibits a convergence of traits consistent with high-risk incitement behavior:
• DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender): Places a bounty, then performs bewilderment at accountability.
• Moral disengagement (Bandura): Reframes solicitation of murder as religious duty, neutralizing internal restraint.
• Grandiose narcissism with persecutory features: Self-casts as singular defender; perceives coordinated elite conspiracy against him.
• Collective narcissism (Golec de Zavala): Weaponizes in-group purity; brands fellow Muslims who disagree as traitors.
• Splitting: Absolute allies vs. absolute enemies; no tolerated middle.
• Escalation of commitment: Doubles bounty under pressure; incapable of de-escalation without perceived shame.
• Self-sanctioned martyrdom scripting: Preemptively demands death over imprisonment — closing his own off-ramps.
• Authoritarian aggression (Altemeyer): Endorses lethal violence against designated targets under claimed sacred authority.
• Significance quest (Kruglanski): Fuses personal relevance with ideological violence — the core radicalization signature.
Risk configuration: Public bounty + escalation under challenge + martyrdom framing is a recognized pre-violence signature in the radicalization literature. This is not rhetoric venting itself out — it is a commitment structure that intensifies when opposed.
Bottom line: Incitement to murder dressed as piety. The psychology explains the mechanism; it does not mitigate the act.
In other words: Islam
His full statement (translated): 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Some videos are circulating on social media claiming I have been arrested. Firstly, I want to ask: What did I do? What did I do? Because they came out to insult the Anabi (Prophet) and I said they should cut off the head of whoever insults the Anabi (Prophet). Is that my crime? I am asking. Because they insulted the Prophet and I came out to say we will not agree to that.
Secondly, there are some people involved in Nigerian affairs calling on the DSS to arrest me. An example is Sahara Reporters. The owner of Sahara Reporters is known for insulting the Islamic religion. I have noticed him and some other prominent people calling on the DSS to arrest me. I am surprised at those Muslims following Sahara Reporters and associating with the owner of Sahara Reporters as if he is one of them. This is the height of hypocrisy from someone who has nothing to do with your religion.
Since I said they should bring me the head of the pastor for 1 million naira, the owner of Sahara Reporters has been pushing to see me arrested, but now I have increased the money to 2 million. What I want now is that if they catch me, they should kill me. They should not put me in prison. And if those Muslims in their circle answer the call to arrest me, that is an insult to Islam and an insult to the Prophet.
Since America has been saying Sharia law should be removed and that anyone who insults the Prophet should not be punished, at that time someone insulted the infidel Benjamin Netanyahu. Today, Netanyahu has sentenced the person. It happened in this country. Now you see, they have already started insulting the Prophet.
Insane.
