We ’ll bomb Aso Rock, Kill Buratai – Boko Haram

Abubakar Shekau, factional leader of Boko Haram has resurfaced in a new video, vowing to fight Nigeria and the world.

Speaking in Hausa and Arabic, Shekau said he had no intention of waging war against Muslims , and threatened to carry out the “ mother of all attacks” on Abuja , capital of Nigeria .

The threat is coming on the heels of claims by the Federal Government that the militant group has been wiped out.

While he expressed loyalty to Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi, leader of Boko Haram affiliate , ISIS, Shakau said he would never recognise Abu Musab Al- Barnawi , as leader of Boko Haram.

The group also threatened attack on army chief Yusuf Buratai , and spokesperson Usman .

Al-Barnawi ’ s appointment was made known by the latest issue of an ISIS- owned magazine, but Shekau vehemently rejected the development , saying ISIS deceived him because he opposed their principles.

In the 24-minute video, Shekau said : “ We have no desire to fight our Muslim brethren, ” an apparent reference to IS .

He said the Al-Barnawi group was only seeking to “create division” among Boko Haram.

“I , Abubakar Ash - Shakawy ( Shekau ), the leader of Jama ’ atu Ahlissunnah Lidda’ awati Wal Jihad , made it a duty for myself to fight Nigeria and the whole world. We have no desire to fight our Muslim brethren. I ’ m alive by the permission of Allah .

“Let the government of Nigeria and West Africa not celebrate or gloat over the division between us and our brothers….We will shock them with attacks never seen before, in no- distant time.
“They (the Abu Musab group ) do nothing but to create division among our people without an iota of contribution to the jihad .

“This is time to fight; it is the time of jihad . We are not killing fellow Muslims . We are not calling Muslims non -believers . We fight and kill those who God has ordered to be fought, those we call non -believers are people so called by God.”

In the new video, the militant leader condemned Western countries including the United States , France, Germany and “ the tyrants of the United Nonsense (UN ) .”

Also, he ridiculed suggestions that he was dead, and looked more composed and energetic than in previous appearances . “ I’ m alive by the permission of Allah , ” he said in his speech in Arabic and Hausa, adding that he would only die when his time came . He last appeared in March.
