The leader of the outlawed Boko Haram sect,
Abubakar Shekau Friday said that their battle was
against President Goodluck Jonathan and the rest
of his Christian brethren.
He further warned that Nigerians should be under
no illusion that the sect was not fighting a religious
war in total submission to the will of God and
would have eaten humans if they were given divine
instruction.
In a message sent to e-mail of some selected
journalists, Shekau said the sect had never done
anything against the will of God which was
responsible for series of victories recorded against
the Nigerian state and its agencies.
The notorious sect leader equally said it was God
that has continued to give them the booty of their
enemies, which the sect has continued to loot
without restraint and enjoyed.
In the translated video recording, he said: “This is
to show our Muslim brethren that victory comes
from Allah. This is just a tip of the ice berg
regarding the booty Allah has blessed us with, the
booty which took our brothers day and night to cart
away.
“Our fighters stormed Bama (military) barracks.
Allah threw them (troops) into confusion through
some servants of Allah who dedicated themselves
to Allah. Allah finished them. They bragged, they
said whatever pleased them to the extent of
claiming they have cleansed Bama, now that they
have sticks-wielding vigilantes. Even Jonathan
praised them, saying Bama are steadfast.”
“It is in the same Bama that our brothers pulverized
21 armoured tanks. People in multitudes were killed,
bodies scattered all over and the sight would
astonish any onlooker. Soldiers hid under blankets
in their rooms and our fighters pursued them and
blew out their brains.”
Shekau added that: “Had Allah allowed us to eat
them we would have eaten them but we are not
cannibals because we are not spirits or animals. As
for killing, we will kill (for) Allah, if he says we
should decapitate, we should amputate the limbs,
we should mutilate.”
Shekau while boasting of the title, “Victory for
Allah”, said the recent destruction of Damaturu,
Maiduguri and later Bama were victories from Allah,
insisting that the victories were beyond human
comprehension and the sect members were
surprised, said: “We were amazed by the victory in
Damaturu, then a greater victory was achieved in
Maiduguri and now Bama operation is better than
Maiduguri. And tomorrow we will go to….”
The terror leader asked his members to be thankful
to God on the recent victories of the group, insisting
that: “They try to brainwash the people that we are
fighting an ethnic war. No, we are fighting a
religious war, we are fighting Jonathan, we are
fighting Christians.”
He said those that ran out of luck may meet their
Waterloo in the couple of days left in the year as
the group was set to be on the prowl for Christians.
He said: “If you are not lucky you will not celebrate
this your December. If you are not lucky this
December you will not go to your churches or you
will celebrate it in fear.”
The terrorists who perhaps agreed that some of his
members might have been killed by him to instil
fear and discipline, said: “This is a bounty placed
on me (brandishing a flyer with his picture), that
whoever finds me, finds me and takes to Jonathan,
will be given N50 million.
“What is N50 million. Do you know what we are
doing? Your armoured tank is worth more than N50
million and we burnt it. Haven’t we burnt your
aircraft? What is N50 million. We do not worship
money. As for he who is in our midst for money,
Allah has taken care of him. Hypocrites who lived
with the Prophet could not harm him. You can’t in
anyway harm me.”
He also said with all the bounty he was hiding by
God from his traducers, noting, “Even America has
placed $7 million ransom (on my head) if you arrest
and take me. But it is difficult indeed.
“The way you hide Jonathan in Aso Rock and hide
Obama in White House, so does Allah hide me
under His protection. You are with Jonathan and
Obama while I am with Allah. Let’s play then,”
Shekau said.
