'We Bombed Maiduguri' - 'I Have No Farm In Sambisa' - Shekau Mocks Nigeria Military In New Video


Abubakar Shekau, leader of the Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad faction of Boko Haram, has spoken in a fresh audio released by the sect.

In a video which was released on Thursday, a voice is heard which is believed to be Shekau speaking in Hausa.

In the video, he says the military have not done enough to keep in check the activities of Boko Haram.

The militant leader also claimed responsibility for the bomb explosions that rocked Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State on Tuesday, February 23.

"I am truly elated with this milestone achievement by our fighters”

"Don’t count yourself a Muslim simply because you pray the salat and give in charity,” he said. “No! So long as you embrace Western values you are not one of us. We will not be on the same page until you truly submit to Allah."

The explosions led to the death of over 16 persons and injured more than 60 across the town.

He also denied having a farm in Sambisa forest as reported by the military when they released a video claiming the farm belongs to Shekau

Troops of the Nigerian Army recently took over a farmland situated inside Sambisa forest which they alleged was owned by Shekau.

In a trending video on social media, the soldiers were also seen taunting the Boko Haram leader, asking him to come out to face them.

“Shekau where are you? See us on Shekau’s farm inside Sambisa. Shekau king of noise-making where are you? Come out now and see if we will not waste you.

“This is Shekau’s farm inside Sambisa. Villagers take as much of the products as you can after all it is yours.

“Shekau, see us on your farm, we are going to have our Juma’at prayers on your farm,” one of the troops said.

The army had on several occasions claimed that it had killed Shekau, but each time it pronounces him dead, the militant resurfaces in an audio or video messages to not only debunk such claims but taunt the military.
