A man who appeared like Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko Haram
insurgents in a new video released yesterday, boasted that the sect has
established an Islamic caliphate in Gwoza town, southeast of Borno State,
saying the village has ceased to be part of Nigeria. Thanks be to Allah, who
gave us victory to attack Abuja and in Yobe town, called Damaturu. We still
thank God for the successful bombing of Damboa and other parts of Nigeria. We
are grateful to Allah for the big victory he granted our members in Gwoza and
made the town part of our Islamic caliphate, he said in his characteristic
unstable presentation. He also lashed at western nations for supporting Nigeria
to fight insurgency. He suggested the terrorists’ rejection of the Nigerian
nation, saying: We are in Islamic caliphate. We have nothing to do with
Nigeria. We don’t believe in this name. He vowed to continue attacks to
increase their quest for more control. He said Boko Haram released the video to
make clarification about its recent attacks, adding that the insurgents
carried out most of the recent attacks including Damboa, Gwoza and other
communities in Borno and Yobe states. He said the sect also killed some of
their members, who he described as infidels. Oh people, I’m making this speech
because of the lies being spread always by the government, he stated.
