Boko Haram: Shekau Threatens To Kill Elder Statesmen, Christians and Bomb Refineries

Category: Boko Haram News
 
In another bold move, the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened attacks in Nigeria’s oil region in a new video released on Wednesday, shortly after his men invaded the north east town of Bama, killing tens of people and destroying properties. 

Shekau in the video was surrounded by an armoured tank, two military vans and about a dozen gun-bearing soldiers.

He admitted killing an Islamic cleric, Adam Albani, in Zaria, about two weeks ago. He also threatened to kill other Muslim and political figures in the country, including Shehu of Borno, Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero, who was attacked by suspecyed Islamists last year.

The US government, after tagging Shekau a terrorist, offered a reward of up to $7 million for information on his whereabouts.

Skekau who was believed to have been killed since last year by the military has released at least two videos since then.

Here is the full text of his 28-minute long video obtained by AFP:

“My brethren…you should hold on to your weapons and continue fighting. Let them understand that our work is not confined to Yobe, Borno and Adamawa (states).

Make them understand that we are not restricted by emergency rule. They should understand we are under the canopy of Allah.

“This is the beginning. Yes, this is the beginning. “We Jama’atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad are fighting Christians wherever we meet them and those who believe in democracy, those who pursue Western education wherever we meet them.

By Allah, we will kill whoever practices Democracy. “And you the infidels of Rivers State, Niger (Delta), the town of Jonathan, Shekau is talking to you (sounds of gunshots). Shekau is talking to you, that small boy that has become the nightmare of infidels is talking to you.

“Oh you the leader of the Niger Delta, you will soon see your refinery destroyed. You will in the incoming days see your refinery you are boasting about bombed. Our refinery is Allah.

“Niger-Delta you are in trouble. Jonathan you are in trouble…Ban ki-Moon you are in trouble, Bejamin Netanyahu you are in trouble, Queen Elizabeth, you are in trouble, Babangida, Kwankwaso, Shekarau, Kashim, Buhari, you are in trouble. “Yahaya Jingir…the cleric of Jos, the advocate of ‘Boko Halal’, right? We are Boko Haram, you are Boko Halal. You will see, bastard.

“We killed Albani of Zaria. We killed Albani of Zaria. Shekau killed Albani of Zaria.Tomorrow  he will kill Jingir, the  day after tomorrow  he will kill Dapchia, the next day he will kill Wapchama, next he will kill Shehu of Borno, Ado Bayero. We rebel against you, between us and you is enmity and rancour until you believe only in Allah.

“The reason why I will kill you is you are infidels, you follow Democracy…Whoever follows Democracy is an infidel. This is Shekau, this is why I’m in enmity with you.

“Buhari is an infidel, Babangida is an infidel, Atiku is an infidel, late Yar’Adua was an infidel, Shehu of Borno is an infidel. You are all infidels. What makes you infidels is Democracy and constitution and western education…I therefore call on brethren in Kano to rise up and replicate the Baga attack.

“All these infidels we are the ones killing them. We enjoy shedding their blood. “The Koran must be supreme, we must establish Islam in this country; Not only in Borno, we will henceforth destroy any schools wherever we see them.”

The governor of Borno state, where Boko Haram is most active, while addressing the press on Monday, warned President Goodluck Jonathan that the military is not has sophisticated as the Boko Haram sect. Read
