The leader of the dreaded extremist Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has thrown a tantrums at President Goodluck Jonathan, dismissing Monday’s bomb attack in Abuja as a “tiny incident” which would soon be followed by more attacks.
In its new video released to journalists in northeast on Saturday, few hours after AFP news agency published highlights of the clip, Shekau spoke boastfully about the prowess of his group and how vulnerable the Nigerian nation is to him and his men
The Boko Haram leader who was clad in a military attire, with a long dark cap strapped with a dark turban, with an AK-47 rifle across his chest, described the Nyanya blast as “tiny incident”, which does not merit the global condemnation that it has generated.
He said the attack was just the beginning of more attacks on the nation, adding that it was a general reprisal for all the killing Muslims across the country and the world suffer “in the hands of infidels”.
Shekau heaped scorn, as usual, on President Jonathan whom he told in the video that his group have been within Abuja, yet they can never by found.
Speaking at top of his voice and laughing sarcastically, Shekau said “Let the world know that we were responsible for the bombing within Abuja in an area called Nyanya. (President) Jonathan you are a lame duck. Jonathan, you are now too small for us; we can only deal with your grand masters like Obama the president of America…even they cannot do anything to us… we are more than them,” he said.
“Yes we did it; we carried out the attack because you kill Muslims in Plateau; you kill Muslims in every country of the world. Why don’t you global tyrants talk when Muslims are killed in Afghanistan? Why don’t you talk when Muslims were killed in Iraq? And they are still being killed. Why don’t you talk when Muslims are killed in the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria, and now Yemen, Mali, Azerbaijan, Shishan, Pakistan?,” he asked.
“Why were you not complaining when our Muslim brethren were killed in Plateau, their wives were forcefully taken and raped, and if they give birth, their children were being killed? So because of that tiny incident that happened in Abuja, everybody is out there making an issue out of it across the globe.
“We want you, Jonathan, to know that we are worshipping only God that is why we are always victorious in all our attacks; stupid fellow like you; if you are that wise, why is it still very difficult for you to locate where we are up till date despite the fact that we are within Nigeria. Look at us, we are right within your city; and you don’t even know how to find us. Let me tell you now; I am here very close to you; I dare you to get me, if you can.
“You cannot do anything. Remember that this is the exactly the fifth year that you boasted that you were going to finish with us in just three months; so we are not bothered with any further boasting that you will make now because what you cannot accomplish in five years, is very difficult to achieve now, never!
“We will not stop until our aim is achieved; so everyone that calls himself a muslim should stop obeying the constitution, should leave democracy, should stay away from western education.
“We are the bombers of Nyanya; yes we are the bombers; if you really want to know who did it, let me tell you now; it was Shekau that did it”.
“I am not afraid of death; and I pray that God should let me be killed by an unbeliever so that I can gain His paradise. We don’t love this sinful world of yours; we want to die and go to the presence of Him who created everyone so that we can enjoy ourselves.
“I don’t care if you call me a liar, a mad man or a stupid person; all I know is that you all are ignorant”.
“We are the ones that carried out the Abuja operation and every other recent attacks. Today where ever you are, if you don’t follow the way of Allah, these calamity will befall you. Jonathan if you don’t repent and follow the path of God, you will find yourself alone before your creator.
