Shekau
Leader of terrorist sect Boko Haram Abubakar
Shekau again appeared in a video clip released by
the sect on yesterday, claiming responsibility for
last week’s attack in Benisheikh, Borno State,
where about 160 people were maimed.
Previously, an erstwhile Joint Task Force (JTF)
spokesman in Borno State, Lt Col Sagir Musa, had
in a statement on August 19, stated, “Intelligence
report available to the Joint Task Force (JTF)
Operation Restore Order revealed that Abubakar
Shekau, the most dreaded and wanted terrorist
leader, may have died.”
Musa had added that Shekau died of gunshot
wounds received in an encounter with JTF
operatives in one of their camps in Sambisa forest
on June 30, 2013. “Shekau was mortally wounded in
the encounter and was sneaked into Amitchide — a
border community in Cameroon — for treatment
from which he never recovered,” the JTF statement
said.
However, a video was posted by the sect online ,
showing Shekau, who was clad in a military fatigue,
rained invectives on his enemies: “Here I am, alive,
hale and hearty. Sagir Musa should bury himself in
shame, President Jonathan (of Nigeria) should bury
himself in shame, President Obama (of United
States of America) should bury himself in shame,
and President Francois Hollande (of France) should
bury himself in shame, Queen Elizabeth (of England)
should bury herself in shame.
“They said I am dead, but here I am. The world
should know that I am alive and will only die at the
appointed time. Everybody should be judged
according to the dictates of his conscience.
“What I am doing is written in the Holy Qur’an and
the Hadith and I will not stop. I challenge all the
clerics of the world to question my deeds. Those
underrating my capacity should have a re-think. I
will never allow democracy to thrive.
“The concept of government of the people by the
people for the people will never be possible and will
never exist. Democracy shall be replaced only by
the government of Allah, from Allah and for Allah.”
He stated the Nigerian military will never subdue his
group. “Nigerian soldiers are late. After killing many
of them in Monguno and Benisheik, we have
snatched their armoured carriers and Hilux vans
and then hoisted Islamic flags on them. We now
move freely with them,” he said.
meanwhile, the Army Public Relations Unit said it
would study the video clips that claimed someone
who had died several weeks ago is alive.
