Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened that the group will “devour” President Goodluck Jonathan “in three months”.
According to Reuters, the sect’s head said in a video posted on YouTube on Thursday that the President goofed by boasting to get rid of the group in three months.
The 14-minute video showed Shekau in a white robe, with gunmen holding Kalashnikov rifles around him. A heavy machine gun leaned against a wall as he spoke first in Arabic and later in the Hausa.
Shekau said President Goodluck Jonathan would be unable to stop the group’s attacks.
He added, “Jonathan, you the helpless, we heard that you intend and want to destroy us, but this talk is useless when it is said by an infidel because only God can destroy us,” Shekau said in Arabic. “Until now, nobody was able to do that (destroy us), and you too will not be able to do anything, with God’s help.”
Hello Friends!
Top on the news today, is this report from The Punch:
Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened that the group will “devour” President Goodluck Jonathan “in three months”.
According to Reuters, the sect’s head said in a video posted on YouTube on Thursday that the President goofed by boasting to get rid of the group in three months.
The 14-minute video showed Shekau in a white robe, with gunmen holding Kalashnikov rifles around him. A heavy machine gun leaned against a wall as he spoke first in Arabic and later in the Hausa.
Shekau said President Goodluck Jonathan would be unable to stop the group’s attacks.
He added, “Jonathan, you the helpless, we heard that you intend and want to destroy us, but this talk is useless when it is said by an infidel because only God can destroy us,” Shekau said in Arabic. “Until now, nobody was able to do that (destroy us), and you too will not be able to do anything, with God’s help.”
Shekau belittled Jonathan for saying two weeks ago that by the middle of this year the security situation would be under control.
“You, Jonathan, cannot stop us, instead we will devour you in the three months like you are boasting,” Shekau said in the video entitled ‘message to Goodluck Jonathan’.
“We are proud soldiers of Allah, we will never give up as we fight the infidels. We will emerge as winners … we will finish you and end your government.”
Shekau had issued videos via YouTube in the past, though this one included a Hausa-language song at the beginning about the sect, saying its members were ready to kill nonbelievers.
Meanwhile, a military spokesman on Thursday said suspected gunmen from the sect shot dead an Igbo trader at a market in Maiduguri, the city where the sect once had its main mosque.
Witnesses blamed another shooting onWednesday night on the sect, as a flyer pasted on the wall of the home of the deceased bore a warning that people should not criticise Boko Haram.

Last Words: This is a clear threat and dis regard to the good people of this nation... May God Help Us... Why can't the Northernans / Muslims amongst us accept the fact that Nigeria is ONE NATION WITH MANY CULTURES? We must not be ruled perpetually by just one region! Please!
