Boko Haram: It’s A Religious War; We Are Fighting Jonathan, We Are Fighting Christians – Shekau

The leader of the outlawed Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau Friday said that their battle was against President Goodluck Jonathan and the rest of his Christian brethren.
He further warned that Nigerians should be under no
illusion that the sect was not fighting a religious war in total
submission to the will of God and would have eaten
humans if they were given divine instruction.
In a message sent to e-mail of some selected journalists,
Shekau said the sect had never done anything against the
will of God which was responsible for series of victories
recorded against the Nigerian state and its agencies.
The notorious sect leader equally said it was God that has
continued to give them the booty of their enemies, which
the sect has continued to loot without restraint and enjoyed.
In the translated video recording, he said: "This is to show
our Muslim brethren that victory comes from Allah. This is
just a tip of the ice berg regarding the booty Allah has
blessed us with, the booty which took our brothers day and
night to cart away.
"Our fighters stormed Bama (military) barracks. Allah
threw them (troops) into confusion through some servants
of Allah who dedicated themselves to Allah. Allah finished
them. They bragged, they said whatever pleased them to the
extent of claiming they have cleansed Bama, now that they
have sticks-wielding vigilantes. Even Jonathan praised
them, saying Bama are steadfast."
"It is in the same Bama that our brothers pulverized 21
armoured tanks. People in multitudes were killed, bodies
scattered all over and the sight would astonish any
onlooker. Soldiers hid under blankets in their rooms and
our fighters pursued them and blew out their brains."
Shekau added that: "Had Allah allowed us to eat them we
would have eaten them but we are not cannibals because we
are not spirits or animals. As for killing, we will kill (for)
Allah, if he says we should decapitate, we should amputate
the limbs, we should mutilate."
Shekau while boasting of the title, "Victory for Allah", said
the recent destruction of Damaturu, Maiduguri and later
Bama were victories from Allah, insisting that the victories
were beyond human comprehension and the sect members
were surprised, said: "We were amazed by the victory in
Damaturu, then a greater victory was achieved in
Maiduguri and now Bama operation is better than
Maiduguri. And tomorrow we will go to…."
The terror leader asked his members to be thankful to God
on the recent victories of the group, insisting that: "They try
to brainwash the people that we are fighting an ethnic war.
No, we are fighting a religious war, we are fighting
Jonathan, we are fighting Christians."
He said those that ran out of luck may meet their Waterloo
in the couple of days left in the year as the group was set to
be on the prowl for Christians. He said: "If you are not
lucky you will not celebrate this your December. If you are
not lucky this December you will not go to your churches
or you will celebrate it in fear."
The terrorists who perhaps agreed that some of his
members might have been killed by him to instil fear and
discipline, said: "This is a bounty placed on me
(brandishing a flyer with his picture), that whoever finds
me, finds me and takes to Jonathan, will be given N50
million.
"What is N50 million. Do you know what we are doing?
Your armoured tank is worth more than N50 million and
we burnt it. Haven't we burnt your aircraft? What is N50
million. We do not worship money. As for he who is in our
midst for money, Allah has taken care of him. Hypocrites
who lived with the Prophet could not harm him. You can't
in anyway harm me."
He also said with all the bounty he was hiding by God from
his traducers, noting, "Even America has placed $7 million
ransom (on my head) if you arrest and take me. But it is
difficult indeed.
"The way you hide Jonathan in Aso Rock and hide Obama
in White House, so does Allah hide me under His
protection. You are with Jonathan and Obama while I am
with Allah. Let's play then," Shekau said.
