Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has told President Muhammadu Buhari and Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, that they are shouldering a burden beyond their capacities.
Shekau stated this in a new 14-minute video, where he also denied that he sustained injuries when air force fighter jets, targeted a location in Borno State.
“To Buhari, Buratai and lawmakers you are shouldering a burden beyond your capacity. Your imagination is more incredible than the tale of a hawk that lifts an elephant,” he said.
“So I’m alive. But if God wills that you will kill me, it is not surprising because many prophets of Allah were killed by infidels. I will be happy to die in the cause of Allah.”
Shekau also bragged that it was not yet time for him to die and that he would carry out more killings.
“You claimed your jets struck at our gathering while we were praying, killed some of us and injured me near Damboa. I don’t even know the town you mentioned,” he said.
“Earlier you claimed I was in Sambisa, now you said I was near Damboa road. You will never know my location. Allah kept out of sight because I believe in him and doing his biddings. Be patient, once my time on earth ends, I will die. Nothing will happen to me.
“We are not worried. We are making this video to dispel your propaganda. Deceitful people end in shame. Shekau is alive… I have not started killing in the name of religion yet. I will start in future.”
