Boko Haram leader mocks Buhari, threatens minister, journalists in new video

BOKO HARAM
Leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau, has issued a threat to some journalists and the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.In a new video, the insurgent leader, speaking in Hausa, asked his men to go after Pantami for threatening to block the communication lines of the sect members. He reminded Pantami that his group had killed a famous Kano cleric in 2007, saying a similar fate could befall the minister.
Shekau, in the video released on Thursday, said,
“This video message is specifically released because of one man, who thinks he is knowledgeable. I want him to archive this message and continue referring to it till his death comes. From today onward, you will continue to live in sorrow, because I, Shekau, say so.
“This warning is for Isa Ali Panatami; don’t think simply because you preach in English or because you are called a doctor, it means you have knowledge of Islam. You know nothing. Today, you have become a minister, and you are feeling you can achieve your selfish ends. You must know that speaking English has nothing to do with Islam.
“You said you are going to block phone lines and other means of communication, to frustrate the activities of Boko Haram, right? But you must understand that we don’t depend on such to take out our messages. Our messengers are like the angels of God. How dare you attempt to stop the works we are doing for the creator of the heavens and earth, simply because you have become a slave to the white world and the country? We pity you if you don’t repent.”
The terrorist leader said the group initially had not begrudged the minister, but that he had become a slave to “the infidels.”
He added,
“Repent now and become a good Muslim. If you don’t comply from now on, death will come to you, Isa Ali Pantami. I call on my members in Africa, in Nigeria to rise and do the needful. Let them know that what we did to Sheik Jafar is just the tip of the iceberg. Anywhere you see Isa Ali Pantami, don’t spare him. Isa Ali Pantami, you are nothing; even Jafar tried the same thing but we dealt with him; much less you that is nothing in Islamic practice. And from today on, you will not have rest of mind because you have dared God.”
Shekau also threatened journalists, warning them to be cautious about how they report the activities of his group.
He added,
“The journalists on BBC, Radio German, Radio France International, Dandal Kura, national dailies, be very careful in all that you write about us. We are not dealing with you people; we are doing the work of God. Our trust is in God and not in human beings.“We have understood your evil plots against the religion of God, and your hypocrisy has been made known to us. Go on and plot against us in secret; we too shall converge in secret and plot and see who will take the day.“However, this video is purely created because of Isa Ali Pantami. And you, Bulama Bukarti in England; you heard my words in the past. All these names I mention are insignificant elements.”Shekau also taunted President Muhammadu Buhari, alluding to the disapproval he faced from residents when he visited Maiduguri on Wednesday.
He said,
“And you, President Buhari, you said you are almost 80 years old and you are busy going about, and now your people have started booing, right? You just wait for your angels of death.“Simply because some persons told you that they have killed our commanders, so now you are emboldened and you want to kill Shekau, right? Who is Shekau, a small person to you? But you are now in trouble Mr Buhari; you are in big trouble.“I am still here, that little boy that has defied the leaders of the world. I am still around, you just wait, it will soon be over before we all meet in the hereafter.”
