The leader of the Boko Haram terrorist sect , Abubakar Shekau , has said the sect was responsible for the attack on a military/police convoy and the abduction of about 10 policewomen along the Damboa -Maiduguri Road last week .
Shekau said this in a new video posted on the website of online newspaper, Sahara Reporters.
The post was viewed by our correspondent, in Abuja , on Tuesday.
The video, which lasted about 17 minutes , showed the sect leader accusing Nigeria ’ s military and political leadership of lying to the public that Boko Haram had been defeated.
While condemning the peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Christians in the country , Shekau warned that the sect would not spare liberal Muslims when attacking unless they repented and follow ‘ the path of Allah’ .
“ Did you not read that the prophet said you ( Muslims ) should not eat with a plate used by a Jew ( infidel ) without first washing the plate?” he asked .
Shekau claimed that Allah had helped his sect capture some policewomen and made them the slaves of the sect .
He said , “ I want to tell you that we are responsible for the work . We thank Allah. We got victory from our creator . That work that happened along the Damboa -Maiduguri Road, it was Allah who did it, not us .
“ The people of Nigeria , repent and go to Allah. Your leaders are lying to you . We are here in good health, if you see how we are , you will say let me go there and also enjoy. This is just here on earth, what we look forward to is heaven .
“ This work has put a lie to claims by Nigeria ’ s military , the police and the big men of Nigeria who keep telling the people that ‘ we have defeated Boko Haram ’ . Even with the people , those who lie always cannot succeed , let along with Allah. ”
“ In short , we are responsible for this , what we did is nothing compared to our women, children and friends that have been arrested, detained , tortured and killed by the Nigerian government . They ( policewomen) are not more than 10 or there about . ”
