Boko Haram: Shekau threatens to attack Sanusi Lamido

The threat is believed to be in response to calls made by Sanusi for Nigerians to defend themselves against the terrorist sect: The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau has resurfaced in a new video in which he threatens to attack the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. The threat is believed to be in response to calls made by Sanusi for Nigerians to defend themselves against the terrorist sect. In the video, which according to Premium Times was released on Saturday, December 13, Shekau reportedly vows to attack Sanusi whenever an opportunity presents itself. “Before I start talking to my brothers who believed in me and the religion of Allah not the religion of democracy, not that of western education, those who believed in the religion of the Quran not that of the constitution and not religion of the Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Obama, Bush, Clinton, but the religion of Allah,” Shekau said in the 19-minute video. “Now listen to me Emir of Kano. I am talking to you and only you because of your recent utterances. Let me inform you now that you are late, you should know that you are only but the King of Kano, King of Central Bank, King of money, you are only Sanusi Lamido.”  "Our own government is defined as government of the Allah by the Allah and for the Allah not as you define your own government as the government of the people by the people and for the people,” he added.  “Emir of Kano Sanusi you are late, that our triumph is just for a period of time so you said. Even your predecessors who are renowned idol worshipers in Islamic history like ‘Abujahal’ could not succeed fighting Islam.” “Because you are made the Emir of Kano that is why you got angry and was calling on the Vigilante groups and hunters to attack us. Let me tell you that the hunters and the vigilante groups will fail and you will also fail.” “Yes you can say that our success is for a period of time, because you are a king of Bank and a loyal citizen of his country,” Shekau continued. The Boko Haram leader also reportedly stated that his members are ready to die in the struggle so they can go to heaven to rest.
