“You will in coming days see your refinery bombed,” wanted leader of the radical Islamist group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, has threatened in a new video released on Wednesday.
Shekau, in a 28-minute video, vowed to attack Nigeria’s oil-rich Niger Delta region. He said in Hausa language, “Niger Delta, you are in trouble.”
The Boko Haram leader also vowed to henceforth destroy any schools whenever his group sees them. “Wherever we meet them and those who believe in democracy, those who pursue Western education … we will kill whoever practices democracy,” Shekau said in the video.
“Let them understand that our work is not confined to Yobe, Borno and Adamawa. Make them understand that we are not restricted by emergency rule. They should understand we are under the canopy of Allah,” he added.
In the video, shot in an open field, Shekau was dressed in a military camouflage along with his lieutenants, who mounted the armoured tank and fired shots in the air. He urged them to keep fighting for the cause.
Boko Haram means Western education is evil. The group is aiming to install a strict Islamic state in Nigeria. Boko Haram has carried out deadly attacks mainly in the North East region of the country.
