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.
