Boko Haram declares Gwoza new caliphate




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.
