Leader of Islamist sect group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau has
dismissed the Army’s claim of massive gains in the fight to annihilate
the terror group in Nigeria’s Northeast. He also mocked President
Muhammadu Buhari calling him a liar.
In a 25-minute recording in Hausa and Arabic released via social
media, Shekau said: “They (the military) lied that they have confiscated
our arms, that we have been chased out of our territories, that we are
in disarray.
“We are alive, I am alive, this is my voice, more audible than it was before. This is Shekau.”
Speaking further, the Boko Haram leader said: “Buhari is a liar and has deceived you. The army spokesman is also lying. He and his footsoldiers always run helter-skelter whenever we come face to face with them….
“Buhari, you once claimed that you will crush us in three months. How can you crush us?”
Although there was no indication of where or when the recording was done, reports suggest it must have have been in recent days.
