The Leader of terrorist group, Boko Haram, Abubakar
Shekau has again appeared in a video clip which was
released by the sect on Wednesday. In the video, he
claimed responsibility for last week’s attack on
Benisheikh, Borno. That attack adversely affected over
a hundred and sixty people
You will recall the former Joint Task Force (JTF)
spokesman in Borno State, Lt Col Sagir Musa, had in
a statement on August 19 revealed that Abubakar
Shekau, the most dreaded and wanted terrorist leader,
may have died. In his words:
“Intelligence report available to the Joint Task Force
(JTF) Operation Restore Order revealed that Abubakar
Shekau, the most dreaded and wanted terrorist leader,
may have died.”
“Shekau was mortally wounded in the encounter and
was sneaked into Amitchide — a border community in
Cameroon — for treatment from which he never
recovered,” the JTF statement had said.
Well, a video has been posted by the sect online ,
showing Shekau, who was clad in a military attire
speaking and defending his actions
“Here I am, alive, hale and hearty. Sagir Musa should
bury himself in shame, President Jonathan (of Nigeria)
should bury himself in shame, President Obama (of
United States of America) should bury himself in
shame, and President Francois Hollande (of France)
should bury himself in shame, Queen Elizabeth (of
England) should bury herself in shame.
“They said I am dead, but here I am. The world should
know that I am alive and will only die at the appointed
time. Everybody should be judged according to the
dictates of his conscience.
“What I am doing is written in the Holy Qur’an and the
Hadith and I will not stop. I challenge all the clerics of
the world to question my deeds. Those underrating
my capacity should have a re-think. I will never allow
democracy to thrive.
“The concept of government of the people by the
people for the people will never be possible and will
never exist. Democracy shall be replaced only by the
government of Allah, from Allah and for Allah.”
He also challenged the Nigerian military by stating
that his group were superior to the Nation’s military
setup
“Nigerian soldiers are late. After killing many of them
in Monguno and Benisheik, we have snatched their
armoured carriers and Hilux vans and then hoisted
Islamic flags on them. We now move freely with
them,” he said.
The Army Public Relations Unit has said it would study
the video clips.
