Boko Haram New Video: Abubakar Shekau threatens to attack Sanusi Lamido
attack the Emir of Kano, Muhummadu Sanusi II, in retaliation
for the Emir's call on Kano residents and other Nigerians to
arm and defend themselves against the terror organization.
In a new video released weekend, Mr. Shekau said his group
does not consider Mr. Sanusi a true Muslim, and will attack
him whenever an opportunity presents itself.
The Emir had earlier issued a call to arms after a series of
deadly attacks by suspected Boko Haram militants in Kano.
Speaking at Kano's central Mosque in October, the Emir
charged the people of Kano to arm and defend themselves
against the sect, which is responsible for more than 13,000
deaths.
Militants later launched a deadly assault on the Mosque on
Friday, November 28, detonating multiple bombs and
shooting worshippers to death.
Over 100 people died in the attack which was believed
targeted at Mr. Sanusi.
The Emir, who had travelled out of Nigeria at the time, visited
the Mosque on his return, and re-affirmed his vow that the
Kano people will not cower in the face of Boko Haram's
threats.
In a 19-minute new video first released Saturday, Mr. Shekau
did not claim responsibility for the Mosque attack.
But he said his group remains prepared to fight and kill
anyone who challenges its ideology, and all non-Muslims and
"fake" Muslims like the emir.
"Before I start talking to my brothers who believed in me and
the religion of Allah not the religion of democracy, not that of
western education, those who believed in the religion of the
Quran not that of the constitution and not religion of the Emir
of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Jonathan, Obasanjo, Atiku,
Babangida, Obama, Bush, Clinton, but the religion of Allah,"
he said.
"Now listen to me Emir of Kano. I am talking to you and only
you because of your recent utterances.
"Let me inform you now that you are late, you are should
know that you are only but the King of Kano, King of Central
Bank, King of money, you are only Sanusi Lamido," he said.
Mr. Shekau denounced the Emir's religion as religion based
on constitution, idol worship and homose.xuality.
"Our own government is defined as government of the Allah
by the Allah and for the Allah not as you define you own
government as the government of the people by the people
and for the people," he said.
Mr. Shekau said his group will fight local vigilantes and
hunters, who have successfully crushed the advances of its
fighters in some parts of Nigeria's northeast.
"Emir of Kano Sanusi you are late, that our triumph is just for
a period of time so you said. Even your predecessors who are
renowned idol worshipers in Islamic history like 'Abujahal'
could not succeed fighting Islam.
Yes you can say that our success is for a period of time,
because you are a king of Bank and a loyal citizen of his
country," Mr. Shekau said.
The terrorist leader said his members are ready to be
slaughtered and killed so they can rest in heaven.
"Because you are made the Emir of Kano that is why you got
angry and was calling on the Vigilante groups and hunters to
attack us. Let me tell you that the hunters and the vigilante
groups will fail and you will also fail," he said.
He condemned all other Islamic sects in the country calling
them pagans.
He said the Izala, Tijjaniyya, Qadiriyya and Shiite Islamic
groups are pagans and his group will continue to kill their
followers.
He also condemned the government Saudi Arabia saying they
will all perish in hell.
"We will kill you people, we will capture hostages and keep
selling some."
