The leader of the extremist Boko
Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, has, in a video released to journalists,
threatened more attacks against Nigeria, saying his members would target
Nigeria’s sources of revenue, and her refineries.
Mr. Shekau, who is wanted for
terrorism by both Nigeria and the U.S., also vowed to kill major Islamic
clerics and people that support democracy, western education, and
Christianity.
He said the state of emergency
currently in place in Adamawa. Borno, and Yobe, could not deter his group, and
called on his members in other states, particularly Kano, to attack civilians
and government institutions.
The Boko Haram sect is
responsible for killing thousands of people, largely civilians, since their
insurrection began in Northern Nigeria in 2009. Over 200 Borno villagers have
been killed in the last two weeks by the outlawed sect. The group is, however,
yet to carry out any attack in the 17 Southern States.
The Nigerian military had said Mr.
Shekau could have been killed in a military raid last year.
The full text of his 28-minute video,
delivered in Hausa, reads;
“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…Banki Moon you are
in trouble, Bejamin Natanyahu 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”.
