“We are the ones that carried out the attack in Abuja,” Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, was quoted as saying in a new video obtained by the AFP news agency.
The French news agency has published several videos from the extremist group in the past. The agency said the video was delivered in a manner consistent with previous videos from the Boko Haram sect.
In the 28-minute clip, Mr. Shekau is dressed in military uniform and sits with a Kalashnikov resting on his left shoulder, the AFP reported. He spoke in both Arabic and Hausa.
“We are in your city but you don’t know where we are,” the terrorist leader quipped at President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Nyanya car bomb targeted ordinary working class people leaving early for work in Abuja’s city centre. Police and witnesses have spoken of a lone man driving a Volkswagen Gulf into the packed bus station and detonating the bomb-laden car.
The attack was followed hours later by the mass abduction of at least 129 girls from Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State.
The state authorities say 44 of the girls have now been joined with the families having escaped from their captors.
The video made no reference to the kidnappings.
While the Nigerian government immediately blamed Boko Haram for the Abuja bombing on Monday, little is known of the efforts by law enforcement at apprehending and punishing the perpetrators.
The attack was the first major onslaught on Abuja in two years.
It is the devil that wrote the KORAN that is y lslam is violence.CHIEF AJAGBA
ReplyDeleteMay ALLAH forgive you agbaja
Deleteok then?
DeleteAjagba y are u talking like a fool? If people condemn your bible d way u re condmning the Quran will u be happy,when Niger Delta militants were doing their own some year back,did anybody refers to their bible known fully that they were christians
ReplyDeleteWhile chief ajagba may be a looney, you sef Wey dey reply am no dey help matters, did he say he was a Christian? Just ignore him and don't let other loonies like him pick holes at your examples. Fool na fool no matter for age! All respects to Fela!
DeleteAnonymous 5:09 pm, why re u talking as if ur brain is inside ur anus? Why re u comparing the Niger Delta millitant and boko haram? Did the Niger Delta millitant slaughter innocent school children or innocent men and women just like what the coward evil boko haram re doing? Why don't u let prophet Mohammed fight 4 himself whenever anyone condem ur Qu'ran? Are the Niger Delta millitant faceless just like the coward faceless boko hatam? The truth is that the Qu'ran is writing in Arabic language and oreginated from the arab world, so the Arabs, Hausa's/Fulani's and Kanuri re all muslem's and violent people that carry's dagger, sword or stone along with them everywhere they go bcouse they re the cursed children of God
DeleteSolomon you dont have any questıon. Muslım, chrıstıan, pagan, atheıst e.t.c a murdrerrer ıs a murdrrer and deserves to be punıshed ıt doesnt matter to whıch relıgıon he belongs to . You called boko haram a faceless group that ıs rıght ın my case ı call them relıgousless because fırst of all ıslam encourages educatıon and boko haram encourages ıllıtracy. Secondly boko haram have kılled ınnocent people and have lost thıer cause.
DeleteHow many mosques have they bombed? And how many muslıms have they kılled? And how many chıldren have they kılled? How can such people be reffered to as muslıms??? Islam ıs a relıgıon of peace Savıng one lıfe ın ıslam ıs lıke savıng all the lıfe ın the world abd kıllıng a lıfe ıs lıke kıllıng all the people ın the world that ıs what the Quran say. And why must the federal gov make the boko haram so popular? Is ıt not the prıorıty of the government to safe guard lıfe and property of all Nıgerıan regardless of race trıbe or regıon? Is ıt not the lıfe of Nıgerıan ın borno equıvqlent to the lıfe of a Nıgerıan ın Abuja? Then why ıs ıt that the thousands that are kılled on daıly basıs not consıdered tıll a lıfe ın Abuja ıs lost? Is jonathan not a Nıgerıan ? Who wıll dance when hıs people are dead?
Insulting people's religion here , make no sence Ajagba , you are a fool. Boko haram are not Moslems but murderers. Let's face the nitigrity .
ReplyDelete5:19, u re absolutely right,I rest my case no more to say about such pple as 'ajagba',whatever he call himself
ReplyDeleteThis is no bible or quran teaching, these people are evil. The children being subjjected to agony are mainly mulims with good future for country. Some day, what happen to Goliath in the bible will befall them. They will know no peace throuch Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
ReplyDeleteMuslims and Christians have been co-habiting for years so I do not see them drawing the daggers when we have inter-tribal marriages of both religion.Gov Fashola is a muslim and his wife a practising Christian. Boko haram are just wicked,they are follower's of satan.Shekau is lucifer. We should not disrespect the love we shared in the past as Christians and Muslims.The 100 abducted girls are muslims too.Bh coming out to say what we all know is not it at all, shakau shall go down like Osama bin ladin,insha Allah.
ReplyDeleteNo any place in the Bible that teaches Christian or what ever call himself to insult holy Qur'an or prophet Muhammad likewise no any true Muslim that can insult bible so pls he is on his own. problem Couser he deserve to be hung to death.
ReplyDeleteNigerians are very funny pple.Look at major security issue confronting us as a pple instead of us facing it as a formidable pple, we rather choose to be abusing ourselves & religion . In other civilised clomes, all hands whether moslem, Christains, pagans etc will be on deck to tackle this menace called BOKOHARAM.Bcos if we dont, they will make us not to hv conducive environment to practice our faith.God in heaven is not stupid to make us a multi-religious state. Lets be civilised to face these sons of the devil that are intending to bring our nation to a halt.
ReplyDeleteBoko haram or what ever they call them selves or what ever relıgıon they claım should be brought to book. It ıs the job of jonathan to secure lıfe and property of Nıgerıans. We are stıll waıtıng for that pledge mr jonathan to be acheıved.
