Members of Boko Haram under the
leadership of Abubakar Shekau has
released a new video showing thousands of
its members praying during recently
concluded Eid ceremony, and also
threatened to capture President Buhari.
In a new video released by the deadly Boko
Haram sect, the Islamic terrorist group has
said they were plotting to capture President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The footage, narrated in Hausa, is said to
have been shot somewhere in Borno State,
northeast Nigeria where the sect has its
based. It showed suspected terrorists
praying on what the narrator said is an Eid
ground on Sallah day on Monday.
The video was posted on YouTube on
Tuesday and the group said it was using it
to send out message that it remained a
strong force.
The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, did
not appear in the video, but the narrator
said his deputy, whose name was not
mentioned, represented him at the
gathering.
In the video, which was recorded in
composite to capture two Eid grounds, the
group stated its willingness to continue its
jihad against the Nigerian state and called
President Buhari an infidel and threatened
to capture him.
“This is our eid prayer from us and by the
support of our leader Imam Abubakar Al-
Shekau. We are extending our greetings to
our people and fighters.
“Message to the infidels and the leader of
the entire infidels (kafir) who is the
President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari,
that he should know we are very strong
and doing very good.
“By the will of Allah under the leadership of
our leader (Shekau) will capture Buhari
with our hands,” the group said.
The new video also comes a few days after
Boko Haram allegedly indicated willingness
for a prisoner swap with the Nigerian
government in order to release the
kidnapped Chibok girls, a move the federal
government has said it is willing to
consider.
