The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has released a video in which he threatened the minister of communication and digital economy, Isa Pantami.
Mr Shekau, in the nine-minute video, also threatened journalists saying they should be cautious about what they report or write about his group.
Speaking in Hausa and quoting the verses of the Quran in Arabic, Mr Shekau had asked the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, whether he was tired of leading the counterterorrism war. Repeating his group’s taking the credit for the death of famous Kano cleric Sheikh Jafar, who was killed by an unknown assassin on April 13, 2007, Mr Shekau said the minister may suffer the same fate should he not back out of his mission against the activities of Boko Haram.“This is a message I am sending out on was created on Thursday 13th February.
“You said you are going to block phone lines and other means of communication, to frustrate the activities of Boko Haram, right. But you must understand that we don’t depend on such to take out our messages. Our messengers are like the angels of God. How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator of the heavens and earth, simply because you have become a slave to the white world and the country. We pity you if you don’t repent.
