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"
