Boko Haram Leader Shekau Threatens President Buhari In Latest Video

Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has warned Nigeria’s  President Muhammadu Buhari against visiting Maiduguri, the Borno state capital, northeast Nigeria.

NewsOne Nigeria reports that Shekau made this comment in a video released barely 24-hours after President Buhari paid a visit to Maiduguri to condole with the state over the Auno attack.

In the video sighted by this burgeoning online news platform, the Boko Haram leader said the terrorist sect would attack Buhari if he visits Borno again.

“Buhari came to Maiduguri pretending to be a good man. He shouldn’t try it again,” Shekau said in Hausa.

On Chibok girls’ release, the Boko Haram leader gave a condition for the release of the remaining Chibok schoolgirls.

NewsOne Nigeria understands that despite calls for their release, over 100 of the 276 girls abducted from Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state, in 2014, have remained in the custody of the terrorists since the incident.

In a video, Shekau said the schoolgirls would be set free if the federal government releases its members in detention. This is even as the sect launched an attack hours after Buhari paid a condolence visit to the state on Wednesday, February 12, 2020.
