Do you believe him? Blogger Yassin Juma explains his Al-Shabaab-like signs he likes to make

Tuesday, January 26, 2016 - Kenyans on social media are still questioning the meaning of Journalist-cum-blogger Yassin Juma’s one-finger hand sign.

The outspoken journalist, who was arrested by CID officers on Saturday night over photos he posted on his blog and social media accounts over the attack by Al-Shabaab militants on a Kenyan military camp in El-Adde, Somalia, flashed the one-finger sign moments after he was released Monday afternoon.

Through his social media pages, Juma tried to explain the meaning of the hand sign, which has been associated to terrorists, claiming that it was a sign used to indicate “oneness of God”.

However, his explanation did not satisfy some of his followers who believe the finger sign has a deeper meaning.

Below is what Juma posted on social media. 

"oh Ooh Kanu Yajenga Nchi

Ooh Ooh Kanu Yajenga Nchi

Kanu Eeh Kanu Yajenga Nchi

Sad that We are slowly and steadily going back to the Kanu Era

Am Free at last. Takbirrrrrrr!!!! Thank You Everyone For your support.I appreciate all your efforts following my arrest and detention.

And for those asking what the index finger stands for, it is a sign used to indicate the oneness of God and that our tribulations in this world can only be solved by that one good Lord. God is one” And no other entity/being is as powerful, merciful and Magnificent as he is. #FreeYassinJuma"
